A little adventure in the magical world of numbers

Every number has a place, and your little explorer gets to find it! This Montessori-inspired wooden finger counting board turns early maths into a hands-on game of counting, matching and discovery, using colourful number pieces and finger-counting imagery.

Let the number hunt begin

Imagine your child as a number detective, searching for the piece that matches the fingers on the board. Count together, choose a number and see where it belongs. Then swap roles and let your child set the next challenge! It is a simple way to bring a little storytelling and excitement to everyday number practice.

What makes playtime inviting?

• Colourful pieces to explore: Children can pick up, arrange and match the numbers as part of the game.
• Numbers they can see: Finger-counting imagery connects quantities with written numbers.
• A new challenge to try: Ask “Can you find my number?” or take turns counting and choosing a matching piece.
• A place for every piece: The base board provides space to arrange and store the number pieces after play.

Why bring it into your child's playtime?

If you are looking for a screen-free activity with a clear learning focus, this board offers counting, matching and number recognition in one hands-on experience. It gives parents and children a game to share, whether you have time for a quick number hunt or a more relaxed play session. Follow your child's interest and ability, rather than rushing through the numbers.

Recommended age and safety (3-12 years) 

• Toddlers & Preschoolers (Ages 3–5) | Sensory Counting & Number Discovery:

  • Tactile Finger Counting: Little learners fold and unfold the colorful felt fingers one by one while counting aloud to link verbal numbers with physical hands.

  • Number-to-Quantity Matching: Pick a wooden number block and guide the child to fold the exact number of fingers on the board to match it.

  • Visual Identification: Show a flashcard, talk about the number together, and have the child find the matching wooden tile to place on the stand.

  • Fine Motor Practice: Grasping the chunky wooden tiles and pressing the felt fingers strengthens the pincer grasp needed for early pencil grip and writing.

• Kindergarten & Early Elementary (Ages 6–8+) | Visual Math & Problem Solving:

  • Hands-On Addition: Solve equation cards (such as $5 + 3$) by showing 5 fingers on the left hand and 3 on the right hand, then counting the total fingers to find the sum.

  • Visual Subtraction: Start with a set number of fingers unfolded, fold down the subtracted amount, and count the remaining upright fingers to see the answer.

  • Number Bonds to 10: Explore different finger combinations that make 10 (e.g., $5 + 5$, $6 + 4$, or $7 + 3$) to build early mental math flexibility.

  • Timed Math Challenges: Draw an equation card, solve it using the hands, and quickly place the correct answer block on the wooden ledge.

For safety

• • Keep loose pieces away from children under 3.
