Sandpaper Numbers – Tactile Learning for Early Math & Inclusive Education

Introduce number recognition and pre-writing skills through touch with our Sandpaper Numbers set—an essential tactile resource for early math learning. Each card features a bold numeral from 0–9, crafted in textured sandpaper to guide children in tracing, feeling, and forming numbers correctly.

Designed with inclusive and multisensory learning in mind, this material is particularly supportive for children with special needs, including those with:
✔ sensory processing needs
✔ visual impairments
✔ dyslexia or dysgraphia
✔ fine motor challenges

The tactile feedback helps children connect the symbol with the number concept, making mathematics concrete and accessible rather than abstract. Tracing supports correct stroke formation, builds muscle memory, and strengthens hand control—key readiness skills for writing and numeracy.

Aligned with NCF & NEP goals for foundational learning, Sandpaper Numbers promote:

• number recognition and quantity association

• development of fine motor and pre-writing skills

• experiential, hands-on learning

• inclusive practices and equitable participation

• confidence and independence in early math

The set includes ten durable plates (0–9), designed for frequent classroom and home use.

Key Development Areas

• Numeracy and number formation

• Fine motor and tactile skills

• Cognitive and language development

• Sensory exploration

• Social–emotional confidence in learning

A powerful resource for early math readiness and inclusive classrooms, enabling every learner—regardless of ability—to engage with numbers in a meaningful and accessible way.
