Mini Counting Cupcakes

These mini cupcakes are packed with big learning fun! Kids learn how to count from 1-20 as they explore this set of 20 two-piece cupcakes-count by the number on the outside, then match with the corresponding dots printed inside each lid. Plus, learn about even and odd numbers-vanilla cupcakes are even, and chocolate cupcakes are odd! Designed for little hands, cupcakes also help kids build fine motor skills as they play. All pieces store inside the reusable bucket for easy cleanup! This delightful set offers a hands-on, multi-sensory way to explore foundational maths skills, number recognition, subitising, and categorisation. With each cupcake consisting of a top and base, children can practise matching numbers with quantities and use the colour-coded tops to visually sort and identify odd and even numbers. The bright, bakery-style design engages early learners while encouraging independent exploration and play-based learning. Ideal for individual, small group, or centre-based activities, the cupcakes also promote discussion and cooperation. Whether used in the classroom or at home, this sweet set supports early numeracy development in a playful, effective way that builds confidence and curiosity in maths.
