Six connects to nature in ways kids enjoy. Every insect has six legs, so ants, bees and ladybugs all count to six. Honeybees build their wax cells in six-sided shapes called hexagons, and snowflakes have six arms. Ask your child to count the dots on the six side of a die. Children often say the 6 looks like a snail or a curled leaf.
If you color an insect next to the 6, use a fine marker for the legs so all six stay clear and easy to count. Count them in pairs, two, four, six, to check.

Why do kids mix up 6 and 9?
The two numbers are the same shape turned upside down. Remind your child that the 6 starts at the top and curls down into a loop at the bottom.
Which animals have six legs?
All insects, such as ants, bees, butterflies, beetles and ladybugs, have six legs. Spiders are not insects, so they have eight.
