Eco-Friendly Wooden Counting Log with Sticks | Natural Early Math Toy
Bring hands-on nature-inspired learning into your classroom with the Eco-Friendly Wooden Counting Log with Sticks—a beautifully crafted math tool designed to support early numeracy through tactile exploration. Perfect for STEM and math centers, this versatile resource allows young children to develop foundational math skills such as counting, sorting, and number recognition in a way that feels natural and engaging.
The set includes a smooth, solid beech wood log with evenly spaced holes and two sets of engraved numbers—0–9 on one side and 1–10 on the other. This dual numbering system not only supports traditional counting but also introduces the concept of zero, helping children grasp the idea of quantity and group cardinality. As they place the included wooden sticks into the numbered holes, children visually and physically connect numbers with quantity, reinforcing their understanding through play.
Made from sustainably sourced beech wood, this eco-conscious learning tool brings the beauty of natural materials into early learning environments. Its simplicity and open-ended design make it suitable for small group activities, independent exploration, or guided instruction. Measuring 18½" long with 2½" sticks, it’s perfectly sized for young learners aged 18 months and up. The Wooden Counting Log is a meaningful and environmentally friendly addition to any early childhood classroom.
