Counting Hands

10 beautiful little hands to practice counting! Use our engaging flashcards at the table, on the floor, during mealtimes, and on the go to inspire your little one to engage in new learning concepts. 

What can you do with the flashcards?

Simple play: Chat with your little one as you look through the cards. Can you match your hand to the flashcard? Which flashcard matches daddy’s hands? How old are you and which hand is holding up the right number of fingers?

Sensory play: Getting your hands right into the learning material! Give your child a baking sheet with sand, rice or lentils and bury the cards underneath. Playdough and sensory is also a great way for your child to interact with flashcards by placing bits of playdough or items on each fingertip. If your child is ready for a challenge, you can also give her numbers to match to the right number of fingers on each flashcard.

Memory: Place the cards upside down on the floor and take turns searching for the right number of fingers with your little one. When she is older, you can take turns searching for a specific amount by holding up your hands. When she is still learning the colours, you can simply take turns ‘revealing’ a new flashcard and counting the fingers.

Learning through movement: Simply place the flashcards around the room and challenge your little one to ‘run to the hand with 3 fingers up’, ‘place these 2 blocks on the hand showing two fingers’ or ‘touch your fingertips to the fingertips on the cards!’. There are endless ways to play, and the best part is that children come up with their own ways to enjoy the flashcards.

This limited-edition set includes 10 beautifully illustrated cards that you can use to encourage your little one to get moving and begin defining simple concepts in his ever-expanding world. We have included a gorgeous brass ring to keep the cards bundled between playtimes.
