Learning Resources Family Counters

Good, few of them don't stand straight, but you can adjust their legs. BEst for this price! Thank you!

These counters are great for learning activities at home or in the classroom. The pieces are colorful, easy for little hands to handle, and helpful for counting, sorting, and basic math practice. Good quality and very useful for early learning.

I purchased these to use for an offrenda (a Mexican celebration for Day of the Dead where a table is set up with photos of loved ones who have passed away. There is generally a nice tablecloth, sugar skulls, photos, rosaries and other related items) that I am making for a friend. The figures would have many uses, but I plan to spray paint them gold with a plastic compatible paint. I will glue “angel wings” on them to place among the photos, candles, crosses, sugar skulls, etc. These figures took a craft spray paint very well! I got glued winds on each figure. The were beautiful angels among the items of the agenda! I took a photo of the larger female photo for size reference. There was no smell at all to the plastic figures. The colors and sizes are true to description. I am in my “golden years”, so other than small children - for choking reasons - I don’t see any age limits! I hope that I can get some photos of the offrenda when it is completed!

These family counters are exactly like they appear in the photo. They are small, plastic, 3D, generic family figures representing a mom, dad, sister, brother, baby, and cat. They are generic enough that a child could interpret them as other family members, e.g. two moms, two brothers, etc. They work as counters or small toys, as they're only 1-3 inches big (depending on the figure, the adults are larger than the kids, the baby and cat are smallest). They can be used for a sorting, matching, or counting activity, or even just for imaginative play about people/families/etc. They're vinyl plastic and they're durable but not bendable. Some do not stand up on their own because of how their bodies are positioned, but that doesn't matter when using them as counters. Also, since they are plastic, they are easy to rinse off and clean. I bought a pack of these for the PreK unit All About Us, which focuses on families. I put these in my math manipulatives center to tie the family theme into math counting, sorting, and matching activities.

These counters are great for many things, very versatile. They are bright colors and perfect for small hands. Most of them can stand and it includes mom, dad, brother, sister, baby and dog. We use it for acting out books we read, to sort, count, and create patterns. It is a great toy that is durable and enjoyable.

I was hoping they were made of a harder plastic so a little filing would help them stand but they are too soft. They are great for sorting and counting and probably easy to clean.

I bought these for sandtray therapy. It turns out they are commonly used for sandtray therapy. It's nice having 4 families' worth of people. Since their faces are blank, they can represent any feelings. Very nice.

Priced well. Color and size of items were accurately described. Variety of items was exactly what I expected.

Ho comprato questi personaggi, belli e di buona qualità, per gestire il lavoro di gruppo dei miei alunni di scuola primaria. Grazie ai quattro diversi colori, i bambini estraggono un personaggio e ai dividono in gruppi, o li usano come segnalino nei giochi di gruppo. Ai bambini piacciono moltissimo, li consiglio vivamente per la loro versatilità

My toddler and I love these. There are so many uses for them and we use them for sorting, counting, with playdough and imaginative play. Great for talking about families too. My daughter loves them and could play with them for hours, if allowed to. Nice bright colours and durable too. Well worth the money and I could see us getting many more years of play out of them. We also have the jungle animals set and plan to get some of the other sets.

Hochwertiges Material, tolle Farben. Die Kids haben Spaß damit zu spielen und zu Arbeiten.

Calidad buena, accesible, buen producto.

Great for sorting, counting and even pretend play! Love them.
