Count the Eggs! – Numbers 1 to 5 with Adorable Baby Animals
Count animal eggs from 1 to 5 in this adorable animated number adventure! An irresistible way for toddlers aged 2–5 to discover early counting and number recognition.
About This Video
In each scene of this gentle counting song for the very youngest viewers, a different nest or basket appears filled with beautiful decorated eggs — one egg, then two, then three, then four, then five. The counting is slow, clear and sung with warm repetition that allows the youngest toddlers to anticipate and join in. Each group of eggs is a distinct vivid colour so that the visual count is as unambiguous as possible. The song builds on itself gently, always coming back to the beginning for one more round.
Perfect for babies and toddlers aged 1 to 4 taking their first steps into number recognition. Count real objects together at home after watching — spoons, socks, apple slices, steps on the stairs. Linking the song's counting to real physical objects is the key transition from song to number understanding. Free.

Parents' Questions
What numbers does the Count the Eggs baby counting song introduce?
This baby counting song gently introduces the numbers one through five through the most concrete, visually clear counting context possible — eggs in a nest. One blue egg appears alone, then a second joins it, counting to two, and so on up to five. The slow, warm musical repetition allows babies and toddlers aged 1 to 4 to begin anticipating the next number before it appears — the earliest sign of number sense developing. Each number is shown both as a quantity of objects and as the spoken word in the song, building the association between the word 'three' and three actual objects.
What counting activities work best alongside this baby number song?
Count real objects together in everyday situations — this transfers the song's number sequence into concrete reality. Count five steps on the stairs together, one hand at a time. Count three spoons into the drawer. Count two socks as they go on, then two shoes. Count the apple slices on the plate before eating. For babies and toddlers aged 1 to 3, this connection between the song's abstract counting and real physical objects is the critical bridge that turns number chanting into genuine number understanding. Do it slowly, touching each object as you count it together.
What age is the Count the Eggs baby counting song designed for?
Specifically designed for babies and toddlers aged 0 to 4, making it the most age-accessible counting resource in the collection. Babies from 6 months old can begin to track the visual appearance of eggs and respond to the rhythmic singing. Toddlers aged 2 to 3 start joining in with the count independently. Children aged 3 to 4 can count to five reliably and begin to count backward from five to one. The repetitive, warm, musical format is optimal for this age group — it makes number sequences feel like a game rather than a lesson.
