For example, you can encourage counting, listening skills, taking turns and number recognition by dropping pumpkin seeds into a cup.”

Cullen’s abc’s preschool videos are free for caregivers of preschoolers. Caregivers include: parents, grandparents, family, friends, babysitters, homeschoolers, daycare providers, and teachers of preschoolers. Caregivers can take advantage of Cullen's abc's videos in different ways.
