‘Sunflower – Counting’ sorter

About the game

Seeds are ripening on a large sunflower, but each petal has its own number. How many seeds are needed for the number three, and how many for ten? Help the sunflower fill in all the sections correctly!

‘Sunflower – Counting’ is a wooden sorter designed to introduce children to numbers from 1 to 10. The child matches the removable sections with holes to the corresponding numbers on the petals and places the correct number of wooden seeds.

From the very first seed to a fully filled sunflower — an engaging introduction to numbers and quantities through play.

• a sunflower-shaped base measuring 29 × 24 cm with numbers from 1 to 10 on the petals
• 10 removable sectors with holes: 1 to 10 seeds

How to play
