Numbers with symbols | Wood | Educational Toys | 3+ Years

Numbers on their own only get a child so far; the symbols are what turn counting into arithmetic. This wooden set includes the operators alongside the numerals, so a three-year-old can lay out a sum as a physical row of pieces and see that it is a statement rather than a mystery. Building the sum by hand, then reading it back, is a far slower and more durable way to learn than reciting. Wood keeps each piece distinct to the touch and takes daily handling.
