Freckled Frog Numbers 1-20 Wooden Matching Pairs

The set includes 40 wooden discs printed with numbers from 1 to 20, giving two discs for each number so they can be matched into pairs. Each disc is 5cm in diameter and the set comes in a handy drawstring bag. The colourful numbers make an inviting resource for early counting and matching at home or in class.

Handling the discs helps children connect a written numeral to its name and value, which is the basis of number recognition. As they match, order and count the discs, children practise counting sequences and begin to explore simple addition and subtraction. The hands-on format makes these early maths ideas concrete rather than abstract.

Beyond matching identical numbers into pairs, children can lay the discs out in order from 1 to 20, count them, group them, or turn them face down for a memory game. Adults can also set small addition or subtraction challenges using the discs. This range keeps one set useful across several stages of learning.

The numbers are printed using non-toxic heat transfer technology and sealed with a clear matt varnish. This keeps the numerals clear and colourful through repeated handling and helps them last for years of play. Wipe the discs with a dry or barely damp cloth to keep them looking their best.

The discs are made from natural FSC beech wood, giving them a smooth, solid feel that suits small hands. There are 40 discs in total, each 5cm across, and they store neatly in the included drawstring bag. Keep them dry and wipe clean rather than washing to protect the timber and print.

It is suitable for children aged 2 years and over. Younger children start by matching and naming numbers, while older children order them, count on and try simple sums. Because it supports several skills, the set stays relevant from first number play through to early school maths.
