Product Overview
Match It Numbers turns counting practice into a hands-on puzzle activity. Each of the 20 puzzle sets covers a number from 1 to 20, and every set breaks into three pieces: the numeral, the number spelled out in words, and a matching set of objects to count. Kids fit the pieces together to link the digit, the word, and the quantity, and since the puzzles are self-correcting, only the right pieces click into place. It's recommended for ages 3 and up.
- 20 puzzle sets covering numbers 1 to 20, each made of 3 interlocking pieces
- Self-correcting design lets kids check their own matches without needing an adult to step in
- Builds numeral recognition, number spelling, and counting skills side by side
- Three ways to learn each number: the numeral, the written word, and a countable picture
