Description
Counting to 10 is one thing. Knowing what each number looks like — really knowing it — is another. These Montessori-inspired Number Lacing Cards let little hands trace every curve and line of 0 through 9 with yarn, building number recognition from the inside out.
Hi, I'm Natalie! Children learn number formation the same way they learn everything else at this age — through their hands and their bodies.
When a child laces the number 3, they feel the curves.
When they lace the number 1, they feel the straight line.
That physical memory is powerful, and it makes the transition to writing numbers so much smoother.
