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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEducational Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnhances early number recognition and sequencing skills up to 20.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports understanding of number patterns through hands-on manipulation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePromotes colour recognition and vocabulary development.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourages fine motor development through snapping and arranging pieces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClassroom Ideas:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse magnetic bugs on whiteboards or magnetic boards for number ordering activities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChallenge students to form number patterns or skip counting sequences.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncorporate colour sorting and naming alongside numeracy tasks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourage small group collaboration to create and explain number sequences.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInformation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAges: 3 years and up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes 20 magnetic number bugs numbered 1 to 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrightly coloured and durable for repeated classroom use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Modern Teaching Aids NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42238573576305,"sku":"ZZ0061","price":99.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/7633\/6753\/files\/zz0061_magnetic-number-bugs-1-20_v1_1.webp?v=1768792341","url":"https:\/\/teaching.co.nz\/products\/magnetic-number-bugs-numbers-1-to-20","provider":"Modern Teaching Aids NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
