On top or inside?
Listen to where the otter wants to be: on top, inside or next to. Drag the otter sticker to that spot, or tap it and then the spot.

Matching necklace
The otter made a bead necklace. Look at the sample and tap the beads in the same order to make a matching necklace.

Tap and count
To count without losing track, tap each fish: it gets a number. Tap only the fish! Then choose how many there are.
- 5
Beads on a string
Tap a bead to put it on the string, counting out loud. Put on too many? Tap Take off.
4 and 5 year olds
More pieces that look alike, asking for attention and memory.
