{"product_id":"1-20-lacing-snakes-number-recognition-fine-motor","title":"1-20 Lacing Snakes - Number Recognition \u0026 Fine Motor","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 1-20 Lacing Snakes set combines early numeracy learning with fine motor skill development through engaging threading activities. This set includes five snake heads and twenty chunky number beads, each numbered from 1 to 20, with colours cycling every five beads to visually reinforce number patterns. The beads are designed to easily thread onto the included laces, which measure 80 cm each, encouraging children to practise counting, number sequencing, and pattern recognition in a tactile, interactive manner. The large size of the snake heads (4 x 4.5 x 2 cm) and body segments (3 x 3 x 2 cm) makes this resource suitable and appealing for young learners. The set is perfect for use in classrooms or at home to enhance early mathematical skills while supporting hand-eye coordination and dexterity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEducational Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforces counting and number sequencing from 1 to 20.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports recognition of number patterns through colour coding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePromotes fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination through lacing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourages concentration and patience during threading activities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClassroom Ideas:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuide children to thread number beads in order, identifying missing numbers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse colour patterns on beads to introduce skip counting and patterning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChallenge students to create snakes backwards to practice reverse counting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncorporate lacing snakes into maths rotations for small group activities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInformation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAges: Suitable for early learners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes 5 snake heads (4 x 4.5 x 2 cm), 20 body segment beads (3 x 3 x 2 cm), and 5 laces (80 cm each)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColours repeat every 5 beads to assist pattern recognition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Modern Teaching Aids NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42238202511473,"sku":"ZZ0088","price":99.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/7633\/6753\/files\/zz0088_1-20-lacing-snakes_v1_3.webp?v=1760000607","url":"https:\/\/teaching.co.nz\/products\/1-20-lacing-snakes-number-recognition-fine-motor","provider":"Modern Teaching Aids NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
