Counting Apples – A Montessori and Waldorf Inspired Wooden Counting and Learning Toy

Description

Another seasonal addition to the learning closet, these sweet little apples are sure to please your little one’s autumn senses. These handheld manipulatives are great for transferring activities, counting, color sorting as well as a myriad of open-ended play (perhaps to make an “apple pie” as my little one always does!)

Add a pair of wooden Tongs and you have a great fine motor skill, prewriting muscle builder!

These Apples have been hand painted with a nontoxic water based wash. They have been lightly sealed with a combination of organic beeswax and jojoba oil to keep the colors vibrant.

Each set comes with 18 apples in a drawstring pouch:
3 red
3 orange
3 yellow
3 green
3 blue
3 purple

*This Listing is for the apples only, not the Color Sorting Buckets which can be found in the Toys section of my shop.

Each apple measures approximately 3/4″. Due to their size, they are not meant for children who still put things in their mouths as they could present a choking hazard. As with ALL toys, children should be supervised while at play.

All of my creations were made with your little one in mind. Each piece was designed to nurture child development through open-ended play. These pieces can be used to broaden your little one’s understanding and knowledge of our world and were created as early educational toys. I am inspired by the teachings of Montessori; the natural beauty of Waldorf; and incorporate a myriad of other learning-through-play philosophies when I design. It makes me smile to see my made-with-love pieces being toted for use as preschool toys and in natural play settings. Thank you for helping me support little minds, bodies, and imaginations through engaging, hands-on play and discovery.
