We love our counters from Learning Resources! We were sent Garden Critters and Dinosaurs to review. Ladybug LOVES these, I mean loves. She brings them places, plays with them all over the house {and outside}. They are a big favorite already!
I gave her the Garden Critters first, awhile back and she fell in LOVE {here’s the original post these photos are from}. She loves bugs so these have been played with a lot! Here you can see her playing with them in her Wheat Berries.
She is a color sorter, always!
Adding other toys into play with counters is always a good thing. I gave her the dinosaurs a couple of months later and they were just as big of a hit. I can’t begin to tell you how much she asks to play with these! She used our color blocks to sort the dinos by color.
Here she was putting the pterodactyls to sleep, the babies are lined up and she’s holding the mom and dad.
Below she was making a leveled house for the dinosaurs and I got a whole story about this creation.
The Learning Resources Counters come with a definite recommendation from me and from all 3 of my kids {I asked them}. Ladybug loves them the most but Krash plays with them a lot too. These are well made, durable and adorable. Counters are good for free open-ended play and also can be used extensively for early math. Counting, patterning, sorting and more becomes much more fun with special counters! I am so thankful to have these 2 sets!
You can purchase many of the Counters here from Amazon here, and also directly on the Learning Resources website. Below I will link to the different ones they carry…
