Ladybird Counters and Cards

A set of colourful and tactile ladybird counters for the development of early mathematical skills, with the option of beautifully illustrated and durable activity cards.

• Each card features a different maths activity designed to develop a wide variety of early maths skills, including subitising, counting and mathematical literacy. Counters and cards sold separately.

• Ladybird Counters can be used throughout a setting to explore counting to 20, subitising, odd and even numbers, and addition. Bury the bugs in a tray filled with leaves and twigs or scatter them around the edge of an outdoor nature area for the children to discover. Each set of spotty ladybugs includes two each of 0–10 (22 Ladybugs) and will not fade over time. Bugs measure 50mm.

• Designed for use alongside the Ladybird Counters, the Ladybird Counting Cards are an ideal way to explore early maths skills. The detailed, photographic images featured on the cards will aid the development of key mathematical language. Activities include counting forwards and backwards on leaf number lines and finding suitable ladybug homes in the forest and log pile. Made from durable plastic, the cards are tough enough for use in the outdoor area. Each set includes 16 colourful cards measuring 275 x 210mm.
