Counting Picnic

How to play

1. Look at the number beside your friend. On the first level, the plate shows places to fill.
2. Tap the basket or drag an apple onto the plate. Tap a placed apple, or drag it back to the basket, to take it away.
3. When you think the plate is ready, tap your friend to serve the picnic. Fox, Bird and Turtle take turns.

Playing with a keyboard? Use + to add an apple and − or Backspace to remove one. Select your friend with Tab, then press Enter to serve. In Safari on a Mac, use Option+Tab to reach the buttons.

Count one apple at a time

The game connects a number with a small group of objects. Count aloud together as each apple reaches the plate. There is time to add or take away an apple before serving, and the game gives a visual hint if the amount needs another look.

Make it right for your child

The first level asks for up to three apples, with spaces to fill and dots to count. The second asks for up to five and keeps the dots. The third asks for up to eight, with the number as the clue. Choose a level in the parent panel; changing it restarts the game. Counting dots can follow the level, stay on or stay off, without changing the picnic in progress.

Three apples for Fox

When Fox shows 3, count “one, two, three” as your child adds the apples. If there are four on the plate, tap one to take it away and count again. Then let your child tap Fox to share the meal.

During play, click or touch and hold “Parents” for two seconds, or type parent. You can also change the sound, background and motion.
