Crunches will definitely tone up your stomach, but as the poster below stated, it takes time. I recommend not focusing on a number but rather doing them until you can't anymore. Also, be sure to do all different types of crunches (reverse, side, normal, and vertical) to target all areas of your stomach.
Cardio, as the poster below stated, will help burn fat from all over, including your stomach. It's the best way to slim down, and from my experience, the fastest.
Good Luck!

Doing sit ups are bad for your back and neck as well as, i think, less effective. Crunches are the way to go.
Doing 15-20 every day will tone you a little. And it'll take a few weeks. You gotta do the hard work to see the results!
If you want to burn fat you gotta do cardio which are aerobic exercises that increase the heart rate and burn fat. So things like running, swimming, fitness classes and most sports such as soccer etc will get the fat burning. Distance is what is important: how far you cover and not the amount of time you do.
Then theres toning which is working the muscles. During these exercises your muscles tear and repair so it's best not to do these exercises everyday in order to give your body a chance to heal stress-free.
Exercises such as yoga or pilates as well as things like different kinds of crunches and other various exercise techniques that target the abdominal muscles will serve you well. If you youtube "8 minute abs" you can do a great abdominal workout at home as often as you like. It's clearly from a few decades ago but it's clearly effective and very popular to this day.
The great thing about toning exercises is that your body burns calories for hours after the workout whereas you stop burning significant amounts of calories as soon as you've finished your cardiovascular workout.
Also what you eat is important to getting the right nutrients is essential. Get in all your vitamins. Cut down on carbs - cut out white breads etc altogether, and eat foods rich in protein to compensate. Soluble fibrous foods such as porridge is great. Its filling, healthy and full of iron.
Get your five a day and vary the colours of your fruit and veg. Be sensible in how you cook foods, allow yourself small amounts of treats (such as a square of dark chocolate). Watch out for the nutrition information on what you buy and educate yourself on healthy eating.
When it all comes down to it all you gotta do is eat right and work out. It really is that simple. And of course, as always, the harder you work the better the results in both health and vanity.
