Magnetic Counting Set with Board Alexander GA-418 — educational counting toy, recommended age 5+, multicolour

Alexander Magnetic Counting Set with Board GA-418 is an educational magnetic toy designed for children aged 5 and above. The multicolour set contains magnetic counting pieces and a magnetic board that together enable practising numbers, simple arithmetic operations and sorting activities. The product supports development of basic numeracy, fine motor coordination and structured learning both at home and in classroom settings.

Advantages

The magnetic pieces adhere securely to the board, allowing hands-on manipulation without constant readjustment. A multicolour design helps visual differentiation of groups and quantities, and durable materials provide repeated use during lessons or play. The compact board and loose pieces are easy to store and transport, making the set suitable for tabletop activities and learning sessions.

Suitable for

• Early mathematics practice (counting, addition, subtraction)
• Sorting and colour recognition exercises
• Fine motor skill development through placing and moving pieces
• Small-group classroom activities and individual learning at home

Key specifications

• Intended age: 5 years and older
• Includes: magnetic board and multiple magnetic counting pieces in various colours
• Material characteristics: magnetic components with coated surfaces for safe handling

How to use

Place the magnetic board on a flat surface. Use the magnetic pieces to represent numbers, create groups, and perform simple arithmetic operations by moving pieces on and off the board. For guided practice, present a target number or equation and have the child add or remove pieces to reach the solution. For sorting tasks, ask the child to separate pieces by colour or count specified quantities for each group.

Usage recommendations

Supervise young children during use to prevent misuse of small parts. Combine short, structured exercises with free play to maintain engagement and reinforce numeracy. Store pieces in a container after each session to avoid loss and keep the board surface clean for optimal magnetic contact.
