Turn your fridge (and any metal surface) into a hands-on learning station with the Hape Magnetic Numbers—because who said your kitchen couldn’t double as a math class? This colorful set is the perfect way to introduce your little one to numbers and math. Whether they’re just learning to count or showing off their new math skills, these magnets turn early math into fun, engaging play—while you finally finish that cup of coffee (or at least try).
Want even more ways to play? These magnets are perfect for use with the Hape Easel, also available at Ecobuns Baby + Co., adding even more fun to learning time!
What’s Inside:
- A full set of numbers from 0 to 9 (you’ll hear plenty of “What’s that number?” questions, but it’s worth it!)
- 7 math symbols for creating simple equations
Why Parents & Kids Love It:
- Hands-On Learning: Let your child explore numbers through play as they count, sort, and arrange the magnets. Whether it’s learning to identify numbers or solving beginner math problems, these magnets make early math feel like playtime (which, let’s face it, means fewer requests for screen time).
- Storytime Math: Bring math to life by creating fun, imaginative stories with the magnets. “There are two frogs on the lily pad, and two more hop on—how many frogs now?” (Also great for distracting during snack prep!)
- Fine Motor Skills & Coordination: Picking up and arranging the magnets not only strengthens little fingers but keeps them busy while you get a moment of peace.
- Pattern Recognition: Encourage your child to group and sort the magnets by color, size, or numerical order—because a quiet kid playing with numbers is a win, right?
- Bright & Engaging: The colorful design makes learning numbers fun (and distracts from the fact that it’s also educational). Plus, they’re easy for little hands to move around.
- Versatile Play: Stick them on the fridge, Hape easel (also available at Ecobuns!), or any metal surface—these magnets go wherever your child’s imagination takes them, even if it’s right under your feet while you cook.
Ways to Play (Because the possibilities are endless!):
- Counting Game: Scatter the magnets and challenge your little math whiz to find and place the numbers in order—so they can practice counting while you practice not stepping on them.
- Equation Building: Use the math symbols to create simple addition or subtraction problems. Watch them proudly solve math problems and remind yourself that they’re not ready for algebra just yet.
- Number Sorting: Have your child sort the numbers by color, size, or whether they’re even or odd. It’s math, it’s fun, and it’s giving you a minute to catch your breath.
- Math Stories: Create silly stories with numbers. For example, “3 apples fall from the tree, and 2 more land on Dad’s head—how many apples now?”
- Fridge Math Challenge: Stick the magnets on the fridge and call out math challenges like “Find the number 5!” or “What’s 3 + 2?” It’s a sneaky way to keep learning alive while you cook.
Crafted with high-quality materials and vibrant colors, the Hape Magnetic Numbers set is not just a toy—it’s a tool for turning math into something your child will love (and you’ll secretly enjoy, too).
