Ladybugs counting set

Ladybug counting stones can be used throughout a setting to explore counting to 20, subitising, odd and even numbers, and addition. Teachers can bury the bugs in a tray filled with leaves and twigs or scatter them around the edge of an outdoor nature area for the children to discover. Each set of spotty ladybugs includes two each of 0-10 (22 ladybugs) and an activity leaflet of related ideas and games.

The ladybug early numbers cards are design for use alongside the counting stones. They are an ideal way to explore early maths skills. The detailed, photographic images featured on the cards will aid the development of key mathematical language. Activities include counting forwards and backwards on leaf number lines and finding suitable ladybug homes in the forest and log pile. Each set includes 16 colourful cards.
