Product Information

Full details

The Learning Resources Mini Counting Cupcakes set is an engaging educational tool designed for preschoolers and early learners to develop foundational math and fine motor skills through interactive play. By matching numbered bases with dotted frosting toppings, children can practice counting from 1 to 20 while distinguishing between odd and even numbers. While these durable, hands-on toys are excellent for classroom or home environments, the small parts require supervision for younger children to prevent choking hazards.
