Support early numeracy through hands-on discovery with this Numbers Felt Learning Board. Lightweight and reusable, it suits busy childcare, kindergarten, and after school care environments. Children match numerals, number words, and quantities using soft felt pieces, building clear connections through play. As children count and place apple seeds onto each apple, they develop number recognition and one-to-one correspondence. During sensory time, the soft felt textures encourage touch, movement, and active exploration. This tactile approach supports different learning styles while strengthening fine motor skills and coordination. Aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework, this resource promotes confident learners, problem solving, and active participation. It works well in small groups or independent learning stations, making early maths both meaningful and enjoyable.
