Create a buzz both inside and outdoors with these adorable honey bee stones! This set of busy bees will help children to develop an understanding of numbers and apply this knowledge in different contexts. They can be used for a range of learning opportunities, including recognising the numerals shown on the bees’ backs and relating these to groups of objects, reinforcing the idea of numbers. Explore number sequences and odd and even numbers, along with addition, subtraction and number bonds to 10. Set includes two each of 1-10 honey bee stones that will not fade over time.
Use with our Honey Bee Early Number Cards to extend the learning.

The children liked the size and texture of the bees. It’s great that the boards are wipe-clean and durable. We liked the fact they could be used in different ways.

We used the bees for counting, sorting and ordering, but the children also used them freely and enthusiastically in their open-ended imaginative play.

These are fantastic for what they are intended for. They make matching and using numbers fun. The bright attractive bees encourage reluctant learners to take part. They are easily stored.
