The Tooky Toy "We count on our fingers" set lets children discover maths in a fun, engaging way – with movable hands and colourful blocks.

This wooden maths set has a base with two hands – red and yellow – whose felt fingers with Velcro tips bend easily, imitating counting on fingers. The base has slots for blocks with numbers and the signs "+" and "=". Double-sided cards with addition (green) and subtraction (orange) problems help practise. The set is made of solid wood and builds logical thinking.

What your child develops

• Adding and subtracting. First sums.
• Counting. Fingers as helpers.
• Logical thinking. Solving problems.
• Fine motor skills. Bending the fingers.

How to play

Pick a green card, for example 4 + 5, and bend the matching fingers on the hands. Count them together.

For subtraction start with all fingers up and fold down as many as you take away.
