Activity Board - Counting Fingers

Bring early numeracy to life with the Counting Fingers Activity Board, a tactile and visual way for children to explore counting, quantity, and number sense. Just like using their own hands, children can flip each hinged finger up or down to count, compare, and solve simple sums — making maths concrete and fun for kinaesthetic learners.

The bright colours and clear left-right labelling help children recognise symmetry, hand orientation, and spatial awareness, while reinforcing the connection between numbers and physical quantities. Ideal for introducing early addition and subtraction concepts through active, hands-on play.

Made from solid European birch plywood, this durable board can be wall mounted or used with Edu-21’s Tabletop Stand (#35350), Floor Stand (#35351), or Mobile STEM Walls (#35020 & #35021) for flexible classroom setups.
