A wooden ladybug-shaped counting stick set for hands-on number matching and quantity practice.
How it helps: Moving physical pieces to build numbers gives a concrete, visual anchor for abstract math concepts — useful for kids who find number sense hard to hold in their head alone, and satisfying for kids who like ordering and sorting tasks.
How to use it: Use for short daily counting practice at the kitchen table. Therapists and teachers often use manipulatives like this for early numeracy goals or as a calm, structured tabletop activity between more demanding tasks.
