Trucker Kids - Learning Phone Numbers

We have started working with Princess on learning her phone numbers.  She can easily identify numbers 0-9 which really helps this process.  I searched pinterest and the web for ideas but did not find many that would actually help her.  So I came up with this:

I took the flap off a wipes box, wrote down the phone number with a black marker and cut it up into a puzzle.  Princess loves to play with it and it really helped her to make significant progress on the first phone number she needs to learn (we are working on 1 at a time).  I do include the area code just so that she is aware of it for added safety reasons.
Once she has mastered the number with the puzzle we will switch to this nifty little toy made by fisher price. 

You can program this phone with 3 numbers.  When the child is playing the "Let's Learn Our Phone Number" feature the phone will correct them so that they learn the right number.  We are planning on using this as reinforcement and practice actually punching in the numbers.
