One happy sun has risen to greet the number 1. It beams warmly as a brand-new counting adventure begins. Trace the big number, then decorate the sun and its playful rays. Can you hold up one finger to match the picture?
The number 1 has a sunny counting buddy in this cheerful page: one smiling sun. Point to the large number, then point to the single sun beside it. They both show the idea of one! This is a friendly page for children who are learning that a number tells how many things there are. Trace the number with a finger before coloring, and say, βOne sun,β nice and clearly.
Color the sunβs round face bright yellow, then make its rays golden yellow, orange, or even a mix of both. A light blue sky will help the sunshine stand out. Try red, green, or purple for the big number 1βthere is no wrong choice. You could draw one fluffy white cloud nearby, too. Remember to count it: one cloud, one sun, and one number 1!
The number 1 is the first counting number. It means there is one of something, such as one nose, one bicycle, or one sun in our daytime sky. The Sun is a star, even though it looks much bigger and brighter than other stars because it is much closer to Earth. Sunlight helps plants grow, and it gives us daytime. Hats and sunscreen help protect skin when people play outside.
