save yourself some work and buy some flash cards. The early learning centre do them at reasonable prices (£5 a set) or invest in some inexpensive number books and teach her that way, thats wat i do with my lil un, i tell her each number then turn to a diferent page in the book and ask her to point out a certain number. Good luck!! and happy counting :)

You can get markers and let her draw them you show her then she can draw it and colour it do one every day and then repeat all of them eg:
DAY 1: 1
DAY 2: 1,2
DAY 3: 1,2,3
And bla bla bla... but the best way to do it is make little rhymes like
0 the hero
1 is fun
2 needs the loo
3 has a tree
4 theres a knock at the door
5 watch out for the hive
6 his chair he has to fix
7 looks like heaven
9 what a funny rhyme
10 what a big fat hen !!!
sorry the rhymes are lame but there you go !!!
good luck with your daughter !!

If you really are unable to print them yourself on A4 paper with 1 letter on each then I can only suggest Hobbycraft
However any word process package should give the possibility of individual letters on a page and I have just tried on lotus with a font size of 600 and that fits well
You can make them different colours and even different font's to tempt your youngster
Good luck

What I got for my son was a big floor foam puzzle from toys'r'us. It costs around £10 and can be use for multi purposes. It has big numbers (1 to 20) thant she can play with individually or place back on each foam tile (each tile can be joined together to make a big play mat or build cubes/house/anything) that way she can see the numbers all the time.

Why don't you just do them yourself? After working in daycares, I set up my girl's room in "centers" and labeled them in English and Spanish along with pictures cut out from a magazine. You can use marker to make the number big on any sheet of paper and cut out an item(s) according to the amount.(e.g. the number 5, cut out 5 books and paste them around the number)

A few ideas- you could actually draw them, the personaly touch would make it a more personal thing for you and your daughter. Plus you can personalise them so she loves them!
The way my dad taught me was to get some egg boxes- hide sweets in them and then put number cards over them. Ask her to find a particular number and then when she get it right there will be a sweet underneath! It worked for me, but there are probably better suggestions out there- good luck!

if you draw them nice and big and leave them blank, and get her to colour them in with different patterns, then she would start to learn the shapes. if you get her to colour them in one at a time, she can then stick them up on the wall herself and she will feel proud of them.
it might also help to write the word underneath, ie, 1 'one', 2 'two'...
you could also buy her a counting book which have a certain amount of pictures on each page, for example, number 1 is on the first page, and theres a picture of one buzzy bee. 2 would be on the next page, and theres a picture of 2 ladybirds etc etc...
hope this helps.

Write them yourself.
Get some nice bright paper, and then write the numbers in marker, or use white paper and different color markers. And another helpful hint - get your daughter to help you make the "signs". She will love it, and she will be learning how to identify and write them. . .

why dont you get your little girl to write them on big sheets of paper with you then as your writing them she will be able to write them and say them at the same time, you could also try making it fun by drawing a picture with it , eg 1 doll etc
