Writing Your Numbers Rhymes

Princess G practicing her numbers (yes, she's a lefty!)

When I was a preschool teacher, we had some rhymes that we used to help the children remember how to write their numbers. Now that I'm a mom, I've been using them, too! Here are the rhymes for learning how to write numbers:

0- Big fat zero is a hero.

1- Straight line one is fun

2- Around and back on a RR track

3- Around a tree, around a tree, that is how to make a 3

4- Down and over, then down some more, that is how to make a 4

5- Across and down and then around, look and see a 5 you've found

6- Down to a loop, the 6 rolls a hoop

7- Across the sky and down from heaven, that is how to make a seven

8- Make an S, but do not wait, climb back up to make an 8

9- A circle and a line makes a nine.

I hope this is helpful to you and your child!
