Turn early maths into a hands-on adventure. This Montessori-inspired set pairs soft felt “hand” mats with smooth wooden number pieces and colourful counting sticks, so little learners can see, touch, and build numbers, quantities, and simple equations. It’s screen-free, mess-free, and irresistibly tactile—perfect for curious minds ages 3+.

Why parents & educators love it

• Concrete, visual math: Children match numbers to finger patterns and use sticks to represent quantities—an intuitive bridge from counting to addition & subtraction.

• Safe, kid-friendly materials: Made from durable wood and soft felt with rounded edges and non-toxic finishes—gentle on little hands and tough enough for daily play.

• Montessori-style independence: Open-ended pieces invite self-directed exploration, problem-solving, and fine-motor practice.

• Versatile across ages: Start with number recognition and 1-to-1 correspondence; grow into comparing quantities, building number bonds, and simple equations.

What’s included

• A pair of felt finger-counting “palms” to visualize numbers (0–10).

• A set of wooden number tiles (0–9) and basic math symbols for building problems.

• A bundle of colored wooden counting sticks for concrete quantity building.

Skills it builds

• Number recognition & quantity mapping

• 1-to-1 correspondence & number sense

• Early addition & subtraction

• Fine-motor coordination and focus

Play ideas

1. Match & count: Place a number tile on a felt palm. Raise matching fingers and count out the same number of sticks.

2. Number bonds: Show “5” on the palm, then split sticks into two piles (e.g., 2 + 3) to discover combinations.

3. Equation builder: Use number tiles and sticks to solve 4 + 2, 7 − 3, and more.

4. Greater / less than: Build two stick groups and compare—Which is more? By how many?

Care & storage

Wipe wooden pieces with a dry or slightly damp cloth if dirty; keep felt palms dry and lint-roll as needed. Store everything in a pouch or bin for quick setup and tidy cleanup.
