Ideal for little ones who enjoy learning and colours. Feels really nice quality and would make a lovely gift for a first birthday or even a baby shower. Makes a lovely difference from the loud electronic toys!
This arrives in a nice cardboard branded box and is a high quality wooden number puzzle board in a great size for children. The pastel colours are aesthetically pleasing colours. The wooden numbers, rings and shapes are well made and are a good size therefore are easy to hold and place into the appropriate places on this puzzle’s board.
The mini rings correlating to the numbers are slim and lightweight. It is important to note that the entire product is made of wood as advertised unlike one that i purchased at Christmas which had thin plastic rings.
This toy allows little ones to learn numbers and count matching rings, learn colour names and shapes. I would recommend this and due to the high quality it could also make a wonderful gift.
Bigjigs Toys 1-10 Wooden Counting Board – 78 Piece All-In-One Number Sorter, Shape Matcher & Stacking Toy, Numbers & Maths Games, Early Learning Resources For Children, 2+ Years
Beautifully made wooden montessori counting/sorting toy. The quality is amazing, feels very sturdy. The colours are bright and inviting and there is a good range of shapes included. This toy will engage little minds and help with their fine motor skills, counting as well as learning colours and shapes.
Would make a lovely gift too, good value. Would highly recommend.
Good quality wooden puzzle. It’s been helping my little one learn how to count. The sticks with the colourful rings are bendable which makes it easier to stack. The colours could be brighter, in my opinion and the size a bit bigger. Other than that, it’s perfec
The wooden counting board, measuring approximately 37.8cm x 12.8cm x 1cm, offers a well-crafted and colorful learning experience for children. Its smooth edges and vibrant colors make it both visually appealing and safe for play. The innovative elastic attachment for the pegs adds convenience for little hands, although a storage solution for the numerous pieces would be beneficial. Despite some minor issues, such as the potential for pieces to be misplaced or interchanged, the board provides valuable educational opportunities, helping children learn numbers, shapes, and fine motor skills through interactive play. Overall, it’s a sturdy and engaging toy that offers hours of educational fun for young learners.
This wooden counting set by BigJigs is brilliant. My 2 year old loves it. This is a fantastic way of helping children learn numbers and also colours. It was packaged well with no chips or paint issues. It says from 12m+ but I’d say it’s more 18-24m+ due to small pieces. My daughter loves stacking the wooden pieces and putting the shapes in the correct places. A great learning toy!
The base board measures approx 37.8cm x 12.8cm x 1cm (+ poles)
The actual board and all the pieces are well made – we couldn’t find any sharp or rough bits.
The colours of the pieces are reasonably muted, but not drab.
The one detail that surprised me was that the poles for the disks are actually connected to the board by elastic. This seems to make it much easier for little hands to take the disks back off.
All the pieces for a number are the same colour, and no two colours are the same.
Each number has a block in the shape of the number, a shape (my partner was the one who spotted these have the number of sides to link to the number), and a pole with the appropriate number of disks for stacking.
All the disks, numbers and shapes could additionally be used like normal building blocks.
The digits 6 and 9 can be interchanged on the board (but then the colours don’t match), the number 8 can be put in upside down (one loop is smaller than the other), and the number 10 doesn’t quite ‘do it’ for me. I think it would have been fairly simple to at least make the board so the numbers will only fit where (and how) they’re supposed to – but it’s not enough of a niggle against the rest of the positives for me to drop a star on the rating. (Shame we can’t drop in half stars sometimes.)
This is a nicely constructed Maths toy that is quite diverse in its uses. My toddler enjoys counting the discs onto the pegs, matching the colours and learning about the shapes (which have the same number of sides as the matching number). It’s nice and big and feels satisfying to drop the counters onto the pegs. The price is decent too.
Fantastic wooden counting board for toddlers which teaches numbers, colours and shapes. The coloured numbers line up with the number of counting discs, and also the number of sides on each corresponding shape.
My recently turned 2 year old is the perfect age for this as he’s just learned to count to 10 and is learning to recognise written numbers and the names of simple shapes. Even my 8 year old had a little play and it was a good reminder for him on the names of 9- and 10-sided shapes.
The counting pegs are on flexible springs meaning they can easily be bent out of alignment to allow a better grip on the discs for little fingers.
All pieces feel high quality and are in a smooth wood with no rough edges or splinters. The board can be stored fully assembled in the box which is handy to prevent pieces from being lost.
I love toys made from wood and this is a great matching/stacking puzzle set for kids with lovely chunky pieces for little hands to catch hold of.
The board has ten ‘stations’, each representing a number. There’s a recess to take a wooden piece in the shape of the number, one to take a geometric piece which has that number of sides and then a rod into which of stack the corresponding number of rings. Each station and its pieces and colour-coded to match, so the child has the colours as a first clue and can then begin to become familiar with the number and counting the rings up to that number. So there’s lots of opportunity for some learning about numbers and counting whilst having fun stacking and matching.
The rods are attached to the board by an elastic cord so if the child bangs or falls into them, they will bend over, rather than poke into the child, which seems a thoughtful safety precaution.
Each set of pieces fit each ‘number station’ are packed in the box wrapped in tissue paper, to protect them from scratching and denting. As this will be a gift, I only opened the one tissue paper parcel fitted my photos, but you can see how the thing works.
I do think this is lovely with a comforting solid and chunky feel to it and little ones will love playing with it and learning as they do.
Really nice traditional style, looks colourful without using super bright colours.
The parts while having a set place were easy enough for little hands to manipulate as they had wiggle room (ie: frustrations were reduced as if they didn’t need to line up the square 100% perfectly for it to get in the space.)
I would say that eve though it is recommended for kids aged 1+, some of the bits were of a size that could be a little risky if they end up being chewed on. But with supervision (as it should be!) this is mitigated.
My niece is only 2 years old, but she’s really into this motor skills game. Since she’s teething and puts everything in her mouth, we always make sure to keep a close eye on her while she plays. It’s a great educational toy, and the colors and shapes are really nice too. I just wish price was a bit cheaper, though.
The Bigjigs Toys 1-10 Wooden Counting Board is a fantastic toy for young children.
This counting board is made entirely from wood and has each of the pieces painted in a pretty colour. The product is well made and even though it is wood each piece is smooth and safe for little hands.
There are lots of learning opportunities with this board including counting, recognising shapes, numbers, more and less, and fine motor skills. This is the kind of toy that will be used for many years and the learning from the toy will become more as the child ages.
I wasn’t expecting the sticks that the counters go on to be a permanent fixture on the board but they are attached by some kind of elastic that means they can move but stay firmly on the board. I like this as that means there’s one less thing to lose! The amount of pieces does mean that we’re likely to lose a piece at some point or another but that’s just due to the nature of the toy and how many numbers there are. It would have been nice to have had a reusable bag or something to store all the many pieces in when it is not being played with as the pieces don’t stay firmly in place and could easily be knocked over leaving them flying everywhere.
I am very impressed with this toy though and I think that whilst it’s expensive you definitely get your moneys worth with all the learning and fun there is to have with it. I’d highly recommend this counting board.
I am so impressed with this board! It looks so well made and the colours are beautiful and neutral making it look very cute in the baby’s bedroom. I love how this counting board has a range of different ways to represent numbers up to 10. Each number has a wooden shape that, when looking at the faces, matches the number it lines up with, for example the number 4 has a square and the number 1 has a circle. The shapes also represent different 3D shapes too. The sticks that hold the hoops are gradually getting bigger as the number rises which is a great representation of numbers for the children to see and use to count the hoops on. The board supports counting by only fitting the correct amount of hoops onto it and the colours also match the numbers too which guides younger learners, for example the number 2 is dark green and has 2 dark green hoops to match. Each piece of this set is really well made, the quality is fantastic, they are thick and durable and will not break easily at all!
This product is amazing,
Pros
– packaged well
– the wooden board is strong
– all the pieces are perfectly sized for children’s hands.
– the pegs to put the rings on are on a stretchy string so they bend back, this makes it easier to put the rings on
– the colours are muted, so as not to over-stimulate children
– it supports development in fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, maths such as number recognition, sorting, counting etc.
– each shape has the same number sides as the number it is with.
– it’s colour coordinated, making it easier to match and organise
Cons
– none
Overall I think this is fantastic and worth the money.
First thing I check with items like this is for anything sharp or that could cause any harm to my little one. Even a splinter would be awful so I’ve checked each piece thoroughly and I can confirm its made of at very high standard with no defects.
All pieces come wrapped in tissue to protect them.
All pieces and nice and bright so will help with my child attention and will act as a great learning item as my child grows up.
The poles on the main board are attached with string so if the young child were to fall on them they should bend and drop flat to avoid any harm which is great. It also makes them incredibly difficult to damage or snap which is reassuring.
Overall I’m really pleased with this and have no complaints at all… I see it getting a lot of use over the next year or more. Lovely product.
Bigjig toys are known for their safety and sustainability in terms of the materials used and for this you have got to commend this company. The pieces are solid and well made and the colours are vibrant and clean. It is great to know that the paint is kid-safe and construction is baby friendly. I just cannot get away from the fact that the set is quite expensive for what it is but the peace of mind for your young child makes it worthwhile.
This is wonderful, made from wood, Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Certified.
The wrapping is lovely, each set is wrapped in individual packages which made unboxing great fun.
The pieces give the number. a shape with that number of sides and the correct number of discs that fit neatly over the pegs.
The pegs are not fitted firmly to the board but have some spring in them which give a great noise.
This is a lovely toy to play with and counting and shape recognition as a bonus.
The pieces are lovely to handle they are so tactile and the colours are lovely.
Genuinely a beautiful wooden toy.
