‘Match the Dots’ Wooden Puzzle – Early Numeracy for Balvatika Learners

Introduce young children to the world of numbers with our ‘Match the Dots’ Wooden Puzzle, a hands-on, educational toy designed for Balvatika-aged children (3–5 years). Crafted from high-quality, durable wood and featuring vibrant, visually appealing dots, this puzzle transforms learning numbers into a fun, interactive, and sensory-rich experience.

Children explore the puzzle by matching the number of dots to their corresponding numeric symbols, promoting early numeracy skills, one-to-one correspondence, and counting confidence. The tactile nature of the wooden pieces encourages fine motor development and hand-eye coordination, making the learning process both playful and skill-building.
