Montessori Counting Sticks — Wooden Maths Manipulative Set

Before a child can hold a number in their head, they need to hold it in their hand. That's the whole idea here: slim coloured wooden rods that turn "seven" from an abstract squiggle into a thing you can count out, line up and physically add to.

The set pairs the sticks with wooden number and operator tiles, so a child can lay out a sum and then prove it with the sticks sitting right underneath. It's the standard tool in Montessori classrooms for early arithmetic, and it works just as well on a kitchen table.

• Makes numbers concrete — counting, adding and taking away become something a child does with their hands before they do it on paper
• Colour-coded rods — grouping and sorting by colour is the first step, counting comes naturally after
• Smooth sanded wood — natural timber with non-toxic colour, pleasant to handle and built to survive daily use
• Grows with the child — starts as colour sorting for toddlers, becomes addition and subtraction practice at school age

Safety: Recommended for ages 3 and up. Contains thin sticks and small parts — choking and poking hazard. Not suitable for children under 3 years. Adult supervision recommended.
