Product Information
Full details
The Learning Resources Mini Motor Math Activity Set is designed for preschool and early elementary students to develop foundational numeracy and fine motor skills through hands-on play. Its primary benefit is the combination of tactile manipulation with early math concepts like counting and color recognition, though the small size of the counters requires adult supervision to prevent choking hazards in younger children.

FAQs
What is the target age range for this set?
This set is typically designed for children in the preschool and early elementary age range (3 to 6 years old).
Can these counters be used in water?
While the plastic material is generally water-resistant, it is recommended to keep them dry to preserve the longevity of the finish and prevent mold if moisture gets trapped inside.
Does the set include a storage bag?
The set is provided with the pieces and a multilingual activity guide. It is recommended to use your own small plastic bin or cloth bag for long-term storage.
How many counters are in the total set?
The set covers numbers 1 through 20 to support foundational counting and basic arithmetic practice.
Are these safe for toddlers?
These contain small parts (2.5cm) and are not suitable for children under 3 years due to choking hazards. Adult supervision is required.
Troubleshooting
Counters are missing from the set.
Establish a cleanup routine at the end of every play session to ensure all numbered counters are accounted for and returned to the storage container.
Child is struggling to pick up the counters.
Encourage the child to use tweezers or sensory tongs if they are still developing fine motor pincer skills, which adds an extra layer of difficulty and practice.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the kit, identify a flat, clean surface where children can easily reach all the counters. Because the set is designed as a standalone manipulative, no electronic setup or batteries are required. For care and maintenance, keep the counters in a designated storage bin to prevent loss. If the counters become soiled, clean them with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap; ensure they are completely air-dried before storing them to prevent moisture buildup within the storage container. Always store the set out of reach of very young children when not in active use.
