Children can struggle just as much with forming numerals as they do with letters. They need to develop fine-motor control, the language to talk about shape and patterns, and the basic movements needed for number shapes before they can acquire a fluent handwriting style.
Take a hands-on approach using this set of ten number stones (0–9). The attractive stones offer a tactile and visual way for children to practice number formation and build confidence. Starting at the green dot and guided by the subtle formation arrows, children will enjoy tracing the number shape with their finger, building important motor-memory skills. The set is made from a durable stone and resin mix and are suitable for use indoors and outside. The stones measure between 120–135mm. Age 2+.

Louise Norwood, Head of The Oval Montessori Nursery –
“The Feels-Write Number Stones are exactly what they say! They are wonderfully tactile and the child can trace the number in the stone, therefore committing it to muscular memory.”
Specialist teacher for SpLDs –
“We love the stones. As specialist teachers, we are always looking for multi-sensory resources that allow the children to feel, see and do. The arrows on the Feels-Write stones provide scaffolding to encourage the correct number formation when writing. These are a must for anyone working with children that need the opportunity for overlearning in fun and different ways.”
