Additional Information:
I got this idea from a Chinese book. Joshua (3Y2M27D) tried it this evening and enjoyed it more than the other game I posted earlier with playing cards. He could point to the card with the bigger number for most of the time. At one point, there was a tie with the same number one. He looked at the two cards and laughed (see below picture) He then got impatient, because he wanted to work with Montessori activity with water. I asked him whether he liked this activity. He said he did, but he couldn't wait for the next activity, which is with water.
