Number Pebbles, £17.50 and £30

Following on from the success of their Alphabet Pebbles, Yellow Door has launched Number Pebbles, designed to appeal to children's natural instincts to sort and collect. Durable and weatherproof, the pebbles can be used in sand, water and small-world play, indoors and out. Cast from a resin and stone mix, each pebble measures between 30 and 45mm and is engraved with a number.

Each jar also includes a leaflet full of ideas and activities to help get the most from these innovative resources.

The smaller set, Number bonds to 10 (£17.50), explores number bonds to 10 and contains two of numbers 0 to 10 (22 pebbles). The larger Sumbuilding set (£30) contains both number and operation pebbles, creating a playful way to introduce children to sums. It includes two of numbers 0-20, +, -, = and one each of x and [s5] (50 pebbles).
