Early Math Activity Center

Overall Rating: 4.9 out of 525out of 25 reviewers would recommend this product to a friend.

Love this Early Math Kit!

June 10, 2025 - By Teena Plonafrom Killeen, TX

I use this Early Math Kit to teach my severely autistic, nonverbal son. It is very helpful teaching him colors, sizes, sorting, patterns, and counting. The elephant counters are very well made, heavy, have lasted years. I use the elephant counters to do addition and subtraction problems as he got older. I am so glad that I purchased this Early Math Kit! I would highly recommend it.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Good quality

September 11, 2024 - By Jeff Mann

Our 2yo likes playing with the elephants when he visits. The elephants are very dense and heavy. He’s able to sort by colors, starting to differentiate by size, sequencing patterns are still beyond him. I like that he will be able to use this for a while

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Multiple uses

September 23, 2023 - By CBfrom NJ

I bought these because my two year old grandson loves elephants, and it provides many learning activities to keep him engaged. They also provide open ended imaginary play.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Durable

July 09, 2023 - By Laura Darcyfrom Saratoga springs,ny

These elephants are very durable. They have a nice weight and feel for small hands. I love the different activities that are capable with the different sizes and colors. They will also fit right in with my safari themed classroom.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Size discrimination

Awesome hands on way to learn size discrimination. I love this activity because I use to work with both daycare children (sorting) kinders and 1st graders. (Pattern work)

Fun and imaginative play

August 22, 2020 - By Paulettefrom Columbus GA

I bought this for my 4 year old granddaughter as I babysit her daily and do virtual learning pre-k. I wanted her to have some fun and relaxing activities after computer time. She loves it and uses the vehicles and community workers that I ordered as well.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Great hands on math learning

August 13, 2020 - By Paulettefrom Columbus GA

This is a good math manipulation set for my pre-k grandchild! She loves sorting and patterning with it. I think that they should have put more patterns on the back to give more practice. I am a retired first grade teacher and know how important hands on math is for early learning.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Great!

July 20, 2020 - By SPDfrom Detroit Michigan

Have used this happily for years in a primary special education setting. I just bought another one because I am teaching in a different classroom and had to leave the other one behind! And I think I can use it for distance learning if I disinfect it between families.

Yes, I would recommend this product.
