5 Maths Friends | Wooden Toy Figures | Open-Ended Play

Grimm’s 5 Maths Friends are a great way to introduce children to maths symbols and teach them some early maths skills. They will discover the abstract world of numbers in a playful way. Each Grimm’s Maths Friend has a different mathematical symbol painted on its front. Combined with nature finds, such as acorns, flowers or shells or any wooden loose parts, such as buttons or coins they become a great help to begin understand maths. But children love to incorporating these beautiful wooden figures into their small world play or using them with other open-ended play toys for creative play as well. Grimm’s 5 Maths Friends represent the diversity of people and the uniqueness of each individual through their different colours and different types of wood used. With no specific facial expression, they can be either sad or happy. Their simple appearance fosters imagination instead of restricting little ones creativity by offering too much detail.
