The Count & Thread Stones – A Fun, Tactile Way to Explore Shapes, Numbers, and Fine Motor Skills
Introduce early maths and motor skill development in a playful, hands-on way with The Count & Thread Stones. Specially designed for young learners, this versatile educational resource brings numbers, shapes, and patterns to life through tactile exploration and interactive threading play. Children will love the sensory experience of sorting, counting, and threading these chunky stones, whether in the classroom or at home.
The set includes 15 vibrant stones, each measuring 50mm and featuring a variety of shapes such as circles, squares, and hexagons. Every stone has a pre-drilled hole, perfect for threading onto the three included soft, chunky laces. As children explore the different textures and shapes, they naturally develop key skills such as shape and colour recognition, fine motor coordination, and early number concepts.
The Count & Thread Stones can be used in various ways—from matching and sorting by shape or colour to creating number sequences and identifying missing numbers. These activities support early numeracy and boost problem-solving skills, concentration, and hand-eye coordination. Ideal for indoor and outdoor use, this set offers a sensory-rich learning experience that’s educational and fun.
