Number 1 Wearing a Sailor Hat With a Buzzing Bee

A big number 1 with a cartoon face wears a pointed sailor-style hat tilted on top. It has a large side-facing eye with little curved lines above it, a dark beak-like nose, and a small curved smile. A bee with striped body and wings buzzes near its eye. Short lines near the lower left look like a bit of fringe or whiskers. Numbered dots from 1 to 10 are scattered around the page, and a straight line already connects dots 1 and 10 along the bottom. Kids follow the numbers in order to finish the shape, which is a nice way to practice counting to ten. Once it's done, try coloring the hat in one bright color and the bee yellow and black, then talk about why this number looks like a 1.
