Plan Toys Play and Learn
The play and learn line from Plan Toys consists of wooden materials that practise one concrete idea: counting, sorting, recognising colours, telling the time, balance and fine motor skills. Everything is solid rubberwood, finished with water-based paint.
Learning by doing
An abacus, a sorting board or a set of fraction circles makes an abstract idea literally something to hold. A child who has first done something with its hands remembers it better than one who has only seen it, which is why these materials are popular in Montessori and home teaching.
What suits which age
From about eighteen months to three, shape sorters, threading beads and simple sorting games fit. From three to six come counting, colours and first letters, and after that the clock and fractions.
