LITTLE BUD KIDS Counting Pegs: Ten Frame Math Game for Addition & Subtraction

Overview

Meet LITTLE BUD KIDS Counting Pegs, a portable wooden Montessori-inspired set that invites children to explore numbers through hands-on play. Pegs and number panels encourage counting, ordering, matching, and sight recognition. As curiosity grows, kids can seamlessly expand into addition, subtraction, and place value up to 20 using the same intuitive tool.

The ten-frame design you can trust

The boards use a classic ten-frame layout—two rows of five squares—so learners see numbers in relation to 5 and 10. This tactile structure helps reduce rote counting and promotes quick mental regrouping as new sums form, turning abstract ideas into visible steps.

Grows with your child

From peg-and-count play for beginners to early addition and subtraction for beginners, this kit adapts to preschool, kindergarten, and first grade. Movable numbers and the +, −, and = signs support building a solid math foundation that mirrors classroom approaches.

What’s inside

• 1 arithmetic flashcard set on thick matte cardstock
• 10 number panel boards
• 59 pegs and 20 movable numbers
• + − = signs and a sturdy tote bag
• Access to a 50-page math worksheet set

Details matter: boards alternate between circle and square holes to teach odd and even numbers, while cylinder and cuboid pegs help learners observe patterns and self-correct as they match the right shape to the board.

Quality you can trust

Crafted from solid hardwood with clear water-based finishes, the set is built for durability and safety. It meets non-toxic and kid-safe standards in major regions, using environmentally friendly materials and finishes designed for ongoing play.

How to use at home or in the classroom

• Begin with pegging the same number of pegs as shown on the card to practice counting.
• Move to the ten-frame boards to build fluency in adding and subtracting visually.
• Switch to number boards to explore place value, quick recall, and pattern recognition.
