    These are lovely – quite similar to Montessori’s number rods and beads!

    And it’s always good to be reminded how learning happens with the young ones – hand to mind!

    Thanks for sharing!

    Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll let my son (4 years old) try this too.

    He’s been playing with ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar Play School’ – it includes math, literacy, science & nature studies, coding & puzzles, songs and stories. He found the coding exercise a little frustrating in the beginning but he is slowly getting the hang of it.

    My 4-year old son and I, just love these books by Tom Percival. The story lines are really good and easy for younger children to grasp. Although, for my 4-year old son, he still takes the symbolisms quite literally. 🙂

    Ravi’s Roar – a book that shows how difficult it is to manage anger sometimes

    Ruby Finds a Worry – a book that talks about how worrying about your ‘worries’ make them bigger

    Meesha Makes Friends – for young ones that find it difficult to socialize

    Perfectly Norman – a book that talks about being unique and being brave!


    And have any of you read the “Little People, Big Dreams” books? They are simplified biographies of people that have made a difference throughout history – Muhammad Ali, Mahatma Ghandi, Bruce Lee, Alan Turing and more…They have board-book versions of some stories for the really young ones!
