The educational toy for learning numbers and counting is a set consisting of a wooden base with holes, 15 wooden tiles with printed numbers (from 1 to 15), and 15 wooden tokens (one side is printed with solid color and the other with numbers from 1 to 15). Thanks to such a designed puzzle, learning numbers and counting can be done in several ways.
Preschoolers love to learn about the world and their abilities, so they become more and more independent.
Learning numbers, figures and counting is a very important and big step in a child’s development.
Toddlers have natural mathematical abilities, which, properly developed, will give spectacular results.
With our set, children can create their own play scenarios involving counting or learning numbers, which will further stimulate their creativity and logical thinking skills.
On the other hand, parents and caregivers can follow the child and create a friendly learning environment, according to the principles of the Montessori method. Complementing our set are 7 play suggestions. The scenarios also include possible modifications to individual games and tips on what to pay attention to so that play is both learning and practicing specific skills.
Creating proposals for games, we tried to make the toy grow with the child and be attractive both for a 3-year-old and for children beginning their adventure with school.

Our counting toy mainly helps to shape: concentration, visual perception, eye-hand coordination, fine motor skills, logical thinking and memory. Did you know that:
  1. Concentration is the ability to focus on something specific. It can be a task being performed, a particular object or instructions given by a teacher. Concentration ensures children’s proper development and is essential at each stage of their education.
  2. Visual perception allows children to get to know and understand the world around them. It is also essential for further education when learning to read, write and count. When playing with several items with different pictures, the child has to focus his eyes on them and make an assessment of what he sees, such as colors, shapes, similarities and differences. This is an introduction to more advanced analysis, which, among other things, forms the basis for logical thinking.
  3. Visuomotor coordination enables precision of movement. It is essential for daily activities – from eating, dressing, drawing or writing independently to physical activity. Eye-hand coordination additionally requires training of the child’s hands and fingers, i.e. fine motor skills.
  4. Small motor skills are the precise movements of the hands and fingers, such as squeezing, stroking, kneading and grasping. It is essential in many areas of a child’s life and the achievement of independence (e.g. brushing teeth, buttoning up, eating, writing).
  5. Logical thinking allows one to analyze situations, draw conclusions and develop possible solutions based on the information gathered. This is one skill that can be difficult for a child to achieve. Why practice logical thinking? Because it is essential at every stage of our lives.
  6. The mind of a young child is like a sponge. Several-year-olds absorb a lot of new words and information in no time at all, which allows them to familiarise themselves with their surroundings. In order for this process to run smoothly, continuous memory training is essential.

 

 

Fun proposal

Classic learning to count – number of players 2, suggested age: 3+ Prepare the entire counting set: wooden base, number and number tiles and colored discs.
Arrange the number and number tiles together next to the base, in the correct order starting with the number 1.
Then put the digits/numbers (tiles) and such number of colored pucks as corresponds to the digit/number into the base of the set, one by one.
Then count the inserted circles by touching each of them with your finger. Tips:

  • remember to make learning through play comfortable for the child; limit the number of number and number tiles used during one session of the game – adjust it to the child’s age and skills;
  • when the child is just beginning to learn numbers, for this game use only those familiar to the child; add more numbers, and then numbers, gradually, preferably 1-2 at a time;
  • When inserting the colored circles into the base of the set, remember to do it from left to right, filling in the rows from the top (keeping the direction of reading and writing);
  • you can use the blue side of the discs, or the green side with printed numbers; make sure that the child arranges the green circles in the correct order, so that the correct sequence of numbers and digits (from 1 to 15) is maintained.
