We believe that learning should, first and foremost, be fun! Especially for our youngest ones. It's scientifically proven that kids learn faster when the subject is contextually integrated in their everyday lives, rather than through sit-down learning. 
 
This is not some stock image design - we worked together with a wonderful illustrator in order to create something both visually pleasing and educational. This way you won't need to hide it away after play, your little ones will always be able to see it and will be prompted to play with the images and numbers. Just seeing it constantly already works subconsciously in helping them learn.
 
We, of course, recommend that parents show and discuss the poster together with the kids, as this will encourage fastest learning and will also be great fun for all parties involved! You can let your imagination run free and play many games involving the poster: 
 
- ask your kid to show the number you're naming
- ask your kid to name the numbers herself/himself
- ask your kid to name the images in the poster
- ask your kid to count, add and subtract (depending on age and knowledge) 
- discuss together the images and what they do/where they are/have you been there/seen it/touched it/smelled it/tasted it
- ask your kid to find the items from the poster images in your house
- count: the numbers, the images, groups of images (i.e. how many food items or animals are there)
- and countless other creative games! Please do share with us on social media what you come up with (tag us @thunderlings and use the hashtag #COUNTINGFUN)
 
Great gift for all ages.
