What comes in the Dinosaur Counters jar?
32 dinosaur counters and 1 tweezer in a handy carry jar, with an activity guide.
What age are dinosaur counters for?
Ages 3 and up.
How do dinosaur counters help with maths?
Children can count them, match them to number cards, make patterns and try simple adding and taking away, such as three dinosaurs plus two more. They can even measure how many dinosaurs long the table is.
Why is there a tweezer?
Picking up dinosaurs with the tweezer is great fine motor practice for little fingers, and it makes sorting games more of a challenge.
Can I use them for small world and messy play?
Yes. The tactile, rubbery dinosaurs are lovely in small world scenes and messy play, and talking about their colours and shapes builds vocabulary.
Do you have other counter jars?
Yes. Browse our fine motor toys for more counters with tweezers.
