How Does the Finger Counting Method Work?
The velcro-attached felt fingers on the palms allow children to physically place fingers on the board to represent numbers. By matching the number blocks to the finger count on the flashcards, kids see the relationship between a numeral and its quantity. This tactile approach helps with early addition and subtraction by letting them add or remove fingers.
Is This Toy Suitable for a 3-Year-Old?
Yes, the set is designed for children aged 3 to 5. The wooden blocks have a smooth, burr-free surface and use non-toxic, water-based paint, making them safe for toddlers. The felt palms add a soft touch, and the storage box keeps everything tidy. It also works well as a sensory toy for children with autism, offering tactile and visual stimulation.
What Skills Does It Help Build?
- Fine motor skills – handling blocks and attaching velcro fingers
