Kinmilo Felt Counting & Math Boards | Flowers, Cars & Rabbit Carrots
Count what you can touch
Kinmilo Felt Counting & Arithmetic Boards bring early numbers to life with soft numbers, maths symbols and playful flower, vehicle or carrot-and-rabbit counters. Children can physically move the pieces while learning the difference between quantity, numeral and operation.
Kinmilo Together Time: A Parent–Child Play Plan
Play Together. Grow Together. Use your Felt Counting & Math Boards as a starting point for relaxed, child-led interaction. Try one short activity, and follow your child's interests, developmental stage and comfort.
- 1. Connect & demonstrate: Show one number, counter or bead. Model a simple action: “Here is one. Let's add one more.”
- 2. Share the play: Take turns moving or placing a counter while counting together, or simply match a number to a group of objects.
- 3. Grow together: Introduce one small comparison such as “Which has more?” or let the child invent a counting challenge.
Adapt play for ADHD, autism and different learning needs
Start with one to three objects for children who need simpler steps. Use concrete visual groups, gestures and AAC; celebrate attempts rather than speed or correct answers.
Caregiver tip: Children can respond through speech, gestures, pointing, eye gaze or AAC. Support their choices, avoid forcing performance, and celebrate moments of shared play. These are opportunities for learning and connection, not treatment for ADHD, autism or learning disabilities and not a guarantee of a particular outcome. Follow the product-specific age and safety guidance.
Skills through hands-on activities
- Number recognition from 1 to 10 and one-to-one correspondence
- Counting, comparing groups, introductory adding and taking away
- Pinching, positioning and lifting felt pieces
- Turn-taking, asking for help and following an early maths routine
Parent and caregiver play guide
- Count together: place three carrots or flowers; touch each item while counting one, two, three, then find the matching numeral.
- Make a story: 'Two cars are here, one more arrives—how many now?' Let the child move the cars before showing the number.
- For ADHD or highly active children: use 2-minute mini games and switch between standing counting, pointing and placing a numeral.
- For autistic children: introduce the same colour-coded routine each time, reduce extra pieces at the start, and give a clear visual finish point.
- For developmental or intellectual disabilities: focus on quantities 1–3, demonstrate matching one counter to one number and repeat at a comfortable pace.
- For children using AAC or with limited speech: let them choose the next number with a picture card, gesture or device; show 'more', 'less' and 'finished' on their communication system.
- Progress naturally: after concrete counting, build simple addition and subtraction equations with the felt symbols.
Three themed board options
Flower Counting, Car Counting and Rabbit & Carrot Counting. Number, operator and themed counting pieces are shown in the variant images. The source images do not specify an exact board size.
FAQ
Montessori and Waldorf fit? Tangible counting fits Montessori-inspired concrete numeracy and imaginative story-based arithmetic.
Suitable for children with ADHD, ASD or learning differences? The number of pieces, task length and communication prompts can be adjusted to suit the child. This is a playful practice aid, not therapy.
Testing? Kinmilo maintains CPC and CE test reports. Use with adult guidance where small detachable pieces are present.
