We've been working on number recognition through play lately - and Sweetpea is really learning! I'm not sure she would tell you we've been practicing, but I hope that she would tell you we've been having fun.
Here are some of the games we've been playing:
Hopscotch: good for muscle control and coordination, added a step where we say the number our rock lands on. Another option is to choose the number you're going to try and land on.
Go Fish: I found some fairy playing cards in the dollar spot at Target and Sweetpea was so excited to play with them! We played the first few weeks with an "open hand" where we could see each other's cards and talk about which cards were matching, and what numbers were on each card. We are now to the point where we don't look at each other's cards, and only occasionally will she ask me to confirm a number.
Memory: We made our own cards for this, which was a fun project I'll share soon. I love memory for practicing any number of concepts in addition to card location - colors, numbers, words, patterns, etc.

These are great ideas. My little ones love playing memory. They also love playing chutes and ladders.
Oh we adore the Ladybug Game. Ok, the wee ones do. I've actually never played it with them, but Mister Man knows exactly what happens where and how many aphids you need before moving on. I had forgotten about hopscotch though - I think I need to teach that one to the wee ones!
