Ladybugs Counter Set & Activity Cards

The Ladybugs Counter Set & Activity Cards bundle combines the popular Ladybugs Counting Stones with a set of 16 durable activity cards designed to extend early maths exploration. The 22 weatherproof ladybug counters (two each numbered 0-10) can be used indoors or outdoors to develop counting, subitising, and number pattern skills. Complementing the counters, the colourful activity cards feature photographic images that encourage mathematical language development and inspire children to count forwards and backwards on leaf number lines, trace around flower petals, and find suitable ladybug homes in nature settings. The cards, measuring 275 x 210mm, are robust enough for outdoor use and promote playful, nature-based learning in early years classrooms.

Educational Benefits:

• Combines tactile counting tools with visual prompts to reinforce numeracy skills.
