Counting 1-10 in a child's hands
Contando 1-10, the counting cards in Spanish, built on the fact that children count on their fingers whether anyone approves or not. The pictures use that instead of fighting it, so the quantity on the card and the hand on the table say the same thing. It comes after the child has met the numerals and needs quantity attached to them. The cards are in Spanish. Card stock, full colour, pre cut.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do these finger puppets help children learn numbers?
Each puppet represents a number from 1-10 with distinct character designs, allowing children to physically count on their fingers while associating numbers with memorable visual characters. This multi-sensory approach reinforces number recognition and counting sequences through play.
What material are the counting puppets made from?
The puppets are crafted from soft knitted material with yarn hair details, making them safe and comfortable for small fingers. The textile construction is durable enough for repeated use while being gentle on children's hands.
Can these puppets be used for activities beyond counting?
Yes! Beyond basic counting, children can use them for simple addition and subtraction, number sequencing, storytelling, imaginative play, and developing language skills through puppet conversations about numbers and quantities.
Are the puppets sized appropriately for young children?
The finger puppets are designed specifically for children aged 3-6, with openings that comfortably fit small fingers while being secure enough to stay on during active play and learning activities.
How should these counting puppets be cleaned and maintained?
Hand wash the knitted puppets gently in cool water with mild soap when needed. Air dry flat to maintain their shape. Store in a dry place to preserve the yarn details and prevent stretching.
