Ten number cushions: counting played with the feet

A set of ten soft disc cushions numbered 1 to 10. Each 30 cm across, 5 cm thick, about 250 grams.

Why this beats flashcards. A child who cannot sit still will not learn numbers at a table — all their effort goes into sitting. These cushions move the task to the floor and into movement.

Jump onto seven. Fetch the four. Build the sequence from one to ten. Sort odd and even into different corners. Stand on a number greater than five. Relay race: two teams assemble their row against the clock.

In every one of these the child counts and compares without noticing, because they are busy moving.

And ordinary floor seating. Ten places for a circle, each numbered — a simple way to organise turn-taking.

Materials and hygiene. Virgin foam holds its shape. Covers in PVC, eco-leather or Premium eco-leather. The cover unzips for washing, which is decisive for nurseries, schools and resource centres.

Light and safe. 250 grams, no hard parts. They can be thrown, stood on and fallen onto.

Compact. The whole set stacks to 30 × 30 × 55 cm and weighs 2.5 kg.

Before you order

At 5 cm thick these are floor pads, not chairs: fine for a short circle, not for a 40-minute session. The set contains digits only, no operation signs. Made to order.
