Step 1. Using adding machine paper roll, write the numbers 1 through 12 on it and tape it to the wall. Step 2. Write the numbers 1 through 12 on individual post-it notes and hide them around the house. Step 3. Have your child search and match the numbers found and put them on the number line.
We played the Number Search a few times. The last time, my son hid the numbers and I had to find them. Be sure to ask your child questions about the numbers along the way, "What number did your find?" or "What numbers are left for you to find?" The number line is now hanging in his room. He can go and move the numbers around on his own.
Depending on the level of your child, you can draw dots on the post-it notes representing numbers through 12 and your child will have to count the dots and then match the number on the number line.
This also works for practicing letters, upper and lower case, shapes, sight words or whatever skill you want your child to review.
3M Post-It notes are my favorite because they stick even after pulling them off and on paper/walls numerous times. They also come in a variety of fun shapes and colors. I've used cheap brands and their "stick" does not last.
