Adena Montessori Wooden Counting Peg Game - Educational Toddler Toy

The Tumble Down Counting Pegs is a unique toy that teaches counting in a concrete, active, and enjoyable way. At the heart of this learning tool are 10 interchangeable number plates that can be placed individually into the top of the counting box.

As the child places pegs into the holes next to each number, they count aloud - first with assistance, and then independently. This hands-on approach helps cement the link between the numerical symbol and its corresponding quantity.

The real excitement comes when the counting is complete. By pulling the knob on the side of the box, the child watches as the pegs come tumbling down in a rewarding cascade. This causes them to eagerly repeat the activity over and over, practicing each number and solidifying their understanding of the concrete quantities they represent.

Accompanying the tumbling box is a matching wooden pen that allows children to copy the handwritten form of the numbers. This exercise further develops their number recognition skills and prepares them for writing.

The Tumble Down Counting Pegs set includes 10 number cards, each engraved with the corresponding hole numbers, Arabic numerals, and English writing. This multi-modal approach ensures children can visually identify, verbalize, and kinesthetically engage with the quantitative concepts.

Beyond the tumbling box, the set also includes a blue counting stick. With this tool, children can physically manipulate the numbers, connecting the abstract symbols to tangible quantities. This helps build a deep, lasting understanding of mathematical relationships.

Crafted from high-quality wood, the entire Tumble Down Counting Pegs set is built to last. The materials are moisture and abrasion resistant, with a smooth, burr-free finish that provides a comfortable, safe experience for young learners.

The Tumble Down Counting Pegs is part of a broader collection of Montessori-inspired math materials that encourage hands-on exploration and conceptual understanding. Other products in the series include Sandpaper Numbers, Montessori Cards & Counters, the Hundred Board, and the Stamp Game.

Designed to spark curiosity and foster a love of learning, the Tumble Down Counting Pegs is an engaging tool that supports the development of essential math skills. Whether used in a classroom or a home setting, this unique toy will have children counting, recognizing numbers, and exploring quantities with enthusiasm and confidence.
