Vito is 28 months old.
Odd as it may be, but Vito loves numbers and counting more than letters. Yes, I find it odd because Mavi was into letters at his age and started to learn spelling by the time he’s 2.5 years old. It amazes me on how they can be different!
Anyway, I wanted to share with you this beautiful wooden number peg board I recently bought from a local store (materials are from Europe) and Vito loves this! A precious piece of math material that teaches little children to count and practice hand-eye coordination at the same time! I wanted to buy the Montessori Math Spindle, but when I saw this, I knew this is way more better (and a lot cheaper)!
So I made him use the first five boards because I know that he’ll lose interest once he gets tired.
The pegs are in a perfect size for little hands to hold, a perfect way to practise those pincer grasp as well!
And he finished the first set breezily and asked for more! Yay! I have a feeling he’ll be asking for this work every day. For the pegs, I kept them in a ziploc bag so they’ll not scatter around.
Now, I tried looking for this in the web for you to avail this beautiful material, but unfortunately it seems to be available in Europe only. If you happen to know where this material can be purchased in the US please send me an email so I can share it to the readers.
Good news! One of my readers found this online and she’s kind enough to share it with me. So to all, here’s where you can get this wooden counting material, CLICK HERE.
Below are sellers in Europe and alternative materials available in the US.
I love this!
