Learning Resources Stack and Count Layer Cake – 10-Piece Toddler Counting Toy

Turn playtime into a counting adventure

The Learning Resources Stack and Count Layer Cake invites little hands to explore numbers through a tasty, tactile build. Ten gradient layers alternate between chocolate and vanilla, creating a visual progression that helps toddlers notice patterns while they stack. The design is bright, kid-friendly, and sized for curious toddlers, with plastic pieces that wipe clean for quick after-play cleanup. When fully stacked, the cake stands about 22 inches tall, offering a satisfying sense of accomplishment as kids reach new heights with each layer added.

This set is designed to be easy to integrate into daily routine—whether you’re guiding a homeschool activity, a classroom center, or a family playtime at home. The pieces are sturdy and lightweight, suited for little fingers to grasp, rotate, and nest neatly for storage between sessions. The decorative tops align with numerals on the side of each layer, providing a tactile cue that reinforces number recognition in a playful context.

Key features that support early numeracy

• Ten gradient layers in alternating chocolate and vanilla hues to illustrate counting progression
• Decorations on each layer correspond to the numeral on the side, reinforcing number-symbol matching
• Sturdy, wipe-clean plastic pieces that are easy to clean and store neatly
