Magnetic Number Bugs 1-20

The Magnetic Number Bugs set offers a vibrant and interactive way for children aged 3 and over to explore numbers from 1 to 20. Comprising 20 magnetic bugs that snap together easily, this resource encourages hands-on engagement with early number recognition and counting skills. The bright colours not only attract attention but also support colour recognition and naming. Children can experiment by putting the bugs in the correct numerical order, creating number patterns and sequences, and practising rote counting. This playful, tactile set stimulates curiosity about number shapes and their sequence in a fun, problem-solving context. Magnetic backing allows easy placement on metal surfaces, making it ideal for classroom use or at home. By combining numeracy with fine motor skill development, these number bugs create an engaging foundation for early maths learning.
