Sparkles | Busy Bag

Who does not love a little (or a lot) of sparkle? Well, we certainly do! In this busy bag, we have developed a playful activity with counting cards and gems, an ideal way for little ones to practice counting on from a given number. This starts them on the road towards understanding addition and giving them a stronger understanding of numbers. It can be adjusted to help children at different stages. We have extended the number range in this activity, with number from 5 up to 27 - so lots more fun to be had! 

This activity is suitable for little ones from 4+. As all children develop in their own time, this is a guideline and may vary with your child.
