Number Mushroom Stools - Set of 11

Bring a natural touch to your EYFS numeracy area with our Number Mushrooms—a set of 11 rustic wooden seats that combine fun and learning in one delightful product. These unique, natural wood mushrooms are not only perfect for sitting but also encourage essential counting and problem-solving skills. With each mushroom labelled from 0 to 10, they serve as an ideal tool for teaching basic mathematical skills and developing numeracy through engaging hands-on play.

Arrange them in a line for learners to practice counting from 0 to 10, or scatter them across the outdoor play area for learners as they select mushroom seats in between while answering simple math questions. Each mushroom’s natural texture, with its rough bark and potential for splitting, adds an extra layer of interest to the physical and tactile aspects of learning.

These mushrooms aren’t just for EYFS numeracy activities—they’re versatile enough to integrate with storytelling throne for literacy and numeracy skills development. Have learners engage in games that combine both reading and math to boost their numeracy and literacy skills simultaneously. Whether used for early years maths activities or just a fun, outdoor break, these teacher resources will transform your outdoor learning environment. You can also use them to discuss reasoning as learners explore how the numbers relate to each other—perfect for enhancing problem-solving skills.

With a set that contains all numbers from 0 to 10, these mushrooms are a great addition to your early years maths curriculum, helping children link their learning to real-world examples. The mushrooms' natural wood design is both attractive and functional, pairing it with our round rustic markers (sold separately) provides a tactile learning experience that goes beyond traditional maths games. Just be mindful—the rustic design means some bark may peel, and the wood may naturally split over time, adding character and charm to each piece.
