🚂 A long train stretching right across the table (102 × 16 cm), with a different number of animals riding in every carriage. “I Can Count” is a Djeco cardboard puzzle in which the child counts the animals, seats them in the right carriage and joins the carriages together following the number sequence from 1 to 10.
✨ What does this puzzle develop?
- The link between number and quantity – the child sees that “three” is not just a symbol but three animals;
- The number sequence – the carriages only join together in the right order;
- Spatial awareness and fine motor skills – the large pieces sit well in small hands;
- Vocabulary – every carriage is a chance to name the animals and describe them.
🎲 How to play at home
Scatter the pieces and look together for the carriage with one animal, then the one with two. Once the train is assembled, move on to questions: “which carriage has the most?”, “how many animals altogether?”. The thick card stands up to daily use, and the large pieces do not get lost under the rug.
🧑🏫 Tips for specialists
An excellent aid for the first mathematical concepts in the pre-school years: counting one by one, the constancy of quantity, sequence. In speech and language therapy the train suits practice with prefixes and prepositions of place (“before”, “after”, “between” the carriages), and also storytelling – where the train is going and what it is carrying.
