Cosy Giant Playground Counting Tree Rings Set Of 10

Transform your outdoor learning space into a haven of hands-on numeracy fun with the Giant Playground Counting Tree Rings! These cleverly designed posts are more than just sturdy wooden markers — they’re the foundation for countless EYFS numeracy games and activities. Perfect for inspiring early years maths skills, these tree rings allow learners to engage physically with mathematical concepts, from counting and number lines to reasoning and problem-solving. 

Set them up in your outdoor educational setting to create a number trail, a giant game of hoopla or even a sporty way to keep track of team points during PE sessions. Combine them with mushroom number seats for extended math games that bring learning to life. They’re so versatile, you’ll find new ways to use them every term — because who doesn’t want a maths resource that works harder than your Friday afternoon cup of tea?

And why stop at functional? Add some number buntings to the area for a festive maths corner that learners won’t want to leave. The natural wood finish blends beautifully into any outdoor space, though fair warning: bark peeling and wood splitting are part of the package. It’s just their way of showing how “well-used” they’ve been! Treat them every six months to keep them looking sharp and maths-ready for years to come. With a height of 56 cm and variable widths, these tree rings are big enough to make an impact and sturdy enough for daily use.

As Amanda from Alfreton says, “Wow! How to make maths fun. All those number questions we need to ask – now learners can see and hold the answers.” We couldn’t agree more, Amanda. These rings make maths so engaging, even your staff might get involved in the games (though they’ll deny it later).
