Garden Critter Counters by Learning Resources – 72 Pieces (Ages 3+)

Nurture foundational math with a garden-themed set

The Garden Critter Counters from Learning Resources deliver 72 tactile pieces in six shapes and vivid colors, inviting kids to explore counting, sorting, and patterning in a playful garden world. The smooth, rounded counters are sized for young hands, making it easy to pick up, place, and compare without frustration. As children move through activities, they naturally encounter early number relationships in a concrete, hands-on way.

The mix of dragonfly, snail, grasshopper, caterpillar, spider, and bee designs adds a friendly narrative layer to math play, supporting storytime transitions and collaborative games alongside math tasks. Bright hues—yellow, orange, blue, green, and purple—catch the eye and help sustain attention during short, focused practice sessions. The storage bucket keeps pieces organized between activities, while the included activity guide offers ideas to structure play with clear goals and progression.
