The Montessori Sandpaper Numbers with Box is a tactile educational material designed to help children develop early number recognition, counting skills, and mathematical readiness. This set includes wooden boards with textured numbers (0–9), allowing children to trace each numeral with their fingers. The rough sandpaper surface engages their sense of touch, making learning numbers a multi-sensory experience.

By tracing, children build a strong memory of number shapes while preparing their hands for writing. Ideal for children aged 3 years and above, Sandpaper Numbers are a core part of Montessori math materials, supporting both fine motor development and numeracy foundations.

• Montessori-Aligned Learning: Introduces children to numbers through tactile and visual engagement, building early maths concepts.
• Enhances Fine Motor Skills: Tracing textured numbers strengthens pencil grip, hand-eye coordination, and pre-writing abilities.
• Promotes Cognitive Development: Encourages sequencing, memory retention, and logical problem-solving.
• Durable and Safe Design: Crafted from high-quality, non-toxic wood and sandpaper for long-lasting, child-safe use.
• Perfect for Home or Classroom Use: Supports independent and guided learning in Montessori classrooms, preschools, or homeschooling.

The Montessori Sandpaper Numbers set is an essential tool for parents and educators who want to make mathematics engaging and meaningful, helping children gain confidence with numbers before moving on to arithmetic.
