The Addition Adventure

Meet the Number Friends

Inside the Magic Box, we have 2 shiny apples 🍏🍏 and 3 juicy oranges 🍊🍊🍊. Now, what happens if we put our apples and oranges together?

Let’s Count Together

1. Let's count the apples: 1, 2 (Hold up fingers for each apple).
2. Now, let’s count the oranges: 1, 2, 3 (Hold up fingers for each orange).
