Pions météorologiques Montessori : jeu éducatif pour apprendre à compter

These weather-themed maths counters are engaging for kids. They help in learning counting, sorting, and other basic math skills through fun shapes and colors. The use of recycled materials is a plus, making it an environmentally friendly choice. The activity guide offers creative ways to incorporate learning into playtime.

Love, love, love this set. Added them to a weather themed week for preschool. They were just the right size for our ten frames. Enough materials for small group work. Didn’t smell at all and had a nice smooth finish.

I am so pleased with this set of counters. They actually look nicer in person. Loose parts like these are such a great play item to have around, because kids will find endless ways to use them. Of course they are great for discussing the weather, sorting, matching, etc. But they can also end up being a million other things in the course of imaginative play. Love open-ended toys, and this is a great set!

I use small plastic animals and creatures for games with the kids I work with. they have fun with just the animals but I really wanted to add more to the games- they tell stories with them. I added in fruits and veggies recently and that was a lot of fun. So adding in weather will add in a whole other layer of storytelling. Yes these can be used as fun counters but as a story telling device they are a lot of fun too. Their characters can be traveling in the sun when suddenly clouds roll in and it rains or snows. Anyway, the kids love it. These are nice and chunky and kids can't bend them. Surprisingly important when playing games with middle school youth.

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.

This is a cute and durable collection of weather themed objects. Size is large enough to avoid a choking hazard and make it easy for little hands to use. Each of the shapes come in a variety of colors as well. Perfect to use as a sensory bin addition, visual introduction to weather tracking/graphing, or just another tool in the math manipulatives arsenal.

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!

Fun educational set, helps children learn the weather and colours. In addition to the instructions you can invent your own games with the set, such as trying to tell a story using the different weather shapes to set the scene. The included container is perfect for storing after play, it's compact and easy to hide away

I got this set of weather pieces for my 20 month old Godson. Now I specified the months because this item is suggested for children 3 and up, likely due to potential choking hazards and readiness. With that being said, he was fascinated by the shapes and colors as soon as we opened the container. While he may not understand the concept of counting or sorting, it opens the door for early color recognition and beyond. Definitely worth adding to your manipulative collection for the littles.
