"Four kittens have blue ribbons... six flowerpots sit on the steps... eight caterpillars climb in the grass."
Help children learn basic mathematical concepts using a unique tactile approach. Pages show a blue, textured numeral and the appropriate number of objects to count from 1-10. By touching and counting the flocked pictures for numbers zero to ten, children associate numbers with their quantities and learn the sequence of numbers.
Tracing the large, flocked numeral shapes with the fingers is a valuable preparation for writing numbers. Spiral-bound cardstock, 12 pages. 5½" x 8½". Ages 2 - 5.
The Blue Number Counting Book Tactile first counting book from Montessorian Ellen Gould
Purchased the book for my classroom. We used the book the day it arrived. The sensory experience of rubbing the finger across the felt and the visual-spatial experience provided by the black and white backdrop against the deep blue numbers and objects provide an excellent means for number recognition & development. My one issue with the book - its starts with number one and ends with number zero. The book should have started with number zero like the spindle box.
