Children Counting Tray

Make learning to count a delightful adventure with the Children Counting Tray! This vibrant 20-piece puzzle is cleverly designed to support early numeracy skills while keeping playtime interactive and engaging. Each child illustrated on the puzzle is carrying a different number of objects, encouraging learners to count, match, and think critically as they piece the tray together. With its gently curving design - wider at one end for a unique visual appeal - this puzzle offers more than just counting practice.

It supports the development of observation, memory, and logical thinking through rich imagery and tactile play. Ideal for use in early learning centres or at home, it invites curiosity and conversation around numbers in a meaningful context. The Children Counting Tray is a hands-on introduction to numbers that keeps young learners actively involved, making maths approachable and enjoyable from the very start.
