• A delightful set of jewel-like collection of metallic numbered elephants, designed to enhance numeracy and imaginative play.
• Each metallic elephant is distinctly marked with numerals and amounts on opposite sides, supporting early numeracy skills.
• These metallic elephants are not only visually stimulating but they are a robust educational tool designed to support early years numeracy. Each elephant is embossed with numerals on one side and amounts on the other, catering to both number recognition and counting skills.
• Ideal for interactive play, they encourage children to engage in counting games and creative storytelling, helping develop key early maths skills and expressive abilities. The set’s design is based on educational aims such as linking numerals with physical amounts and developing subitising skills, where children learn to 'see' numbers instantly.
Beyond numeracy, the versatile elephants serve as props in imaginative play, promoting expressive arts and design. They help children devise complex narratives, which fosters cognitive development, particularly in storytelling and creativity. Such multi-functional use makes this set a valuable addition to any early years educational setting.
