Pre-School (3-5 years)

I created these cards when I was transitioning into single motherhood. Dinner time used to be my favorite family-connection time. But, as a single parent, it became too hard for me to do dinners in this new dynamic. It was filled with grief and big feelings. The physical demands of the witching hour and getting dinner ready simultaneously felt hard. It was easy for me to let my kiddos eat wherever, whenever, even in front of the tv 📺 (Which is something I vowed NEVER to do!) I was feeling disconnected from my family and myself. I knew I needed to do something to RECLAIM our connection but I wasn’t sure how.

My youngest is keen on anything that goes. Things that move and roll really captivate his attention. Seeing how much he has enjoyed them, I wanted to add this set of Counting Marbles to the Count With Me series for other movers and shakers to enjoy.  This set is a great addition to any rainbow sensory bin. Pair these wee marbles with the Color Sorting Bowls and you have the perfect color sorting task. Use tongs, fingers, or even chopsticks to transfer these roly poly spheres to their matching color counterpart to help build dexterity, fine motor skills, and patience.

These little cuties are the same size as the balls in the Colored Cups and Balls Play Set so, if you are looking for replacement pieces, or if you just want some extras, these fit perfectly!

Each ball measures approximately ¾” in diameter. They are little.
Each set comes with 18; 3 of each red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. They have been painted using a nontoxic, soy based paint and sealed with beeswax and jojoba oil. They come packaged in an organza pouch for easy storage and visibility.

*NOTE* The Color Sorting Bowls (photograph 3 and 5) are sold separately. This listing is for the Counting Marbles ONLY.  If you are interested in these items they can be purchased separately in our online Mama May I handmade learning toys shop.

A new game just in time for Spring and big enough for small hands! This game was inspired by my little ones who are always more cooperative getting from point A to point B when they pretend to be an animal. There are 25 different wooden coins with a verb and insect 🐌 🐛 🕷 🐜 printed on each one. The objective is to embody an insect one at a time as you draw them from the pouch. You can play charades and have your family/friends guess which insect you are or you can do a team work exercise and have everyone join in on the insect-action fun! Great for little bug enthusiasts and performers!

I created this set after our wildly popular Animal Action play set. These are great mindfulness tools and body movement / kinesthetic tools. As well as speech therapy and body awareness.
