Successfully count to 10 with these gorgeous wooden Number Trays!

What a simple, yet engaging way for small children to acquire their first counting skills with the wooden Number Trays. The set includes 10 linden trays of different sizes from 1 to 10, together with one walnut base. In addition, there is one big set of 55 counting figures inspired by nature. The child segregates a pre-determined amount of fabric-based objects by type. Among them there are handcrafted bears, leaves, clouds, stars, acorns and more. Learn counting numbers with fun!

However, it is just a starter set. The main purpose of the wooden counting trays is to use with them a wide variety of counting manipulative materials. Consider other small objects to count with: wooden and felt balls, beads, stones, marbles, pom-poms, grains and various art-and-craft supplies. During activities integrate additional kitchen utensils on the table: bowls, spoons and tongs. This generates more fun while counting numbers by colour, by type of material, object, etc.!

Multi-purpose of engraved grooves on 10 wooden number trays

Extend the value of the counting wooden toys. Offer children to place small grains into the curved grooves of the numbers. Trace 10 numbers, from 1 to 10, with a finger and with a wooden stylus of your choice. As a result this exercise stimulates neural activities in certain parts of the brain to prepare hands for writing! The child builds own memory patterns and better associations of number recognition. The smart educational trays structurally and playfully instil admiration for numeracy!

Side note. Solid wood is unique. Thus, every produced piece may quite often vary in colour, natural, structural and discolouration patterns than shown on images of our online store. Sometimes due to certain textural knots, the result of wood finishing may show cosmetic flaws. Yet, they do not at all downgrade functionality of the educational toy.

Care instructions. Wooden toys of this calibre might leave oily stains due to its recent production. Hence, keep the wooden item away from valuable items.
