Apple 10-Frame Counting Tray

Apple 10-frame counting set designed for calm, hands-on learning and early math development. Supports number sense, counting, and fine motor skills through open-ended, Montessori-inspired activities. Made from eco-friendly bio-PLA and suitable for children aged 3+ under adult supervision.

The 10-frame grid allows children to see numbers in relation to ten, while the apple counters and tracing tray add a sensory and fine-motor element to everyday math activities. Designed for independent exploration, the set supports calm, focused learning at home or in the classroom.
