60 Rainbow Koala Counters with Sorting Bowls and Tweezers – Counting Toys for Toddlers Ages 3-6
This counting toy set includes 60 koala counters in six rainbow colors—30 big koalas and 30 baby koalas—plus six matching sorting bowls and two tweezers. Designed for toddlers and preschoolers aged 3‑6, it helps build early math skills like counting, sorting, patterning, comparing, and matching. The tweezers add a fine‑motor challenge that also supports hand‑eye coordination. Made from durable, washable plastic, these koalas double as bath toys. The whole kit packs into a portable box with a carry handle, making it easy to store or take on trips.
What makes this set different from counting bears?
Unlike standard counting bear sets, this one includes both adult and baby koalas (30 of each) in the same six colors. This lets children create family groups and practice size comparison alongside color matching. The koala figures have a friendly, gentle look that many kids find engaging.

- 30 big rainbow koalas (approx. 1.5 inches tall)
- 30 small rainbow koalas (approx. 1 inch tall)

Common questions from buyers
Are the koalas safe for a 2‑year‑old?
The set contains small parts and is labeled with a choking hazard warning for children under 3. Not recommended for toddlers who still mouth objects.
Can the tweezers be used by a 3‑year‑old?
Yes, the tweezers are designed for small hands, but some children may need initial guidance. They help strengthen the pincer grip used for writing later.
Do the colors match exactly between koalas and bowls?
Yes, each koala color corresponds to one bowl color: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.
Is this set suitable for a classroom?
Many preschools and homeschools use it for math centers, sensory bins, and independent play because of the easy‑to‑clean plastic and included storage.
