Ladybird counting puzzle

Who doesn't love a ladybird, the shiny little garden insect that's supposed to bring us luck. Help young minds master their numbers by counting the ladybird's spots on these handmade tiles. With nothing changing except the spots, all the children have to do is concentrate on the number of dots. It'll be a favourite toy in no time.

The set comprises two dozen wooden tiles: twelve with enchanting, shiny ladybirds that are identical, except for the number of spots, and twelve with engraved numbers. They're light to handle and beautifully tactile; children can trace the engraved numbers with small fingers.
