Feature #015

The wonderful Molly from @babyandherbabies_ uses the 1-10 lady bugs memory match in many different play based activities. Molly's girls use this set to recognise digits and the corresponding number of lady bugs set out in a tens frame. Including numbers in your everyday play will help children begin to grasp number recognition and how they can be used in different ways - in visuals, language, digits and so much more! On the right, Molly has set up an invitation to create play dough lady bugs to add the matching number of dots on.
The lovely Grace from @prettysimpleplay uses our 1-10 rainbows memory match for a hands on activity to recreate numbers in a tens frame with the discs as prompts. How is a tens frame helpful? Arrangements of counters on the ten frames can be used to prompt different mental images of numbers and different mental strategies for manipulating these numbers, all in association with the numbers' relationship to ten.
Here we have a colourful invitation to play a simple game of memory match that Grace from @prettysimpleplay has set up for her little one. Playing memory games can improve brain functions such as attention, concentration and focus.
