Great resource, fantastic for little hands to learn about the weather.

….My Young great niece and nephews love playing with these when staying with me. The counters encourage them to be curious, to ask me questions about the weather, discuss the weather between themselves too, I’ve noticed. Really good quality, bold, bright, eye catching colours and textured on some of the surfaces Great set Happy to recommend

These counters are really a great way to increase awareness of the Natural World. I used to use a weather, day, date, month chart which we would complete every day. This would be another resource that you could use in the classroom to sort, count with that adds exploration of the Natural World. Children need to be exposed to a variety of medias and anything that is bright and engaging encourages learning. Happy to recommend, they could also be used at home, if your child is struggling with early mathematical concepts.

I really do like all of the different learning resources and these are no exception. Much better than children sitting in front of screens all day! These are great for teaching my 3yo colours, objects and helping her become familiar with counting. She loves the fact it's weather related and really enjoys being asked to either find the matching colours or symbols to pile up. Really good quality pieces and it comes with a handy storage tub with handle! Great. Would recommend

My little girl loves this set! Lots of fun colours and shapes and the leaflet inside provides quite a few great ideas to teach and play. Very versatile set, the counters are good quality and size and perfect for little hands. Lots of hours of fun to be had, we are very excited to have received this Learning Resources Explore the Weather Counters. Would definitely recommend!

The pieces arrive in a plastic tub, which has a handle built into the lid - a nice touch, making it easier for a child to carry them. There are 72 counters in total. These are split into 6 shapes, with each shape having two counters in each of 6 colours. The sun measures 4cm across. The snowflake is about 3.8cm from point to point. The cloud is about 4.7cm at the widest point x 3.3cm at the tallest point. The raindrop is 2.3cm x 3.8cm. The wind is 4.8cm x 3cm wide max. They have depths between 0.4cm (the tops of the wind) and 1xm (the clouds and the centre of the sun). The sizes make these fairly chunky pieces, and they're sturdy as they're made from a slightly pliable recycled plastic. This also makes them relatively easy to keep clean. These lend themselves to discussions about weather (and how you can report more than one type at the same time, as well as on the same day), sorting by shape and/or colour, and counting. There are several suggestions in the booklet that comes with them, and can be found inside the tub. When I requested these they were priced at £16.29, but at the time of writing this review they're now £18.00 Although there are a number of ways of using these (and despite the fact they're sturdy), I feel both these prices are a little high unless the child shows interest in discussing the weather.

nice size for a toddler though still keep eye on as potential choking hazard, are as shown in photo.. great for a sensory bin :)

I love these counters in my March rain themed sensory table for my toddlers. They like to mix and match the colors and shapes which I love. I also really like the digital download that you can get off their website for free to categorize the pieces. Overall, it has educational value and is quality.

Love these for my classroom. Not only for counting but as an adaptive tool for students to check the weather. The material is slightly different than most counters so that’s an added bonus!

We use these in a sensory bin for our ‘weather’ theme. They are good for sorting, too. They can be sorted by color, shape, etc. We make a pattern line and have the preschool continue the pattern. With the many activities we can utilize these for it’s a great value. Great quality. The kids enjoy playing with these.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Bought these for weather unit in classroom. Super durable and kids enjoyed exploring them. Next year we can do more activities with them. Good product and a good amount of
