Anatomy of Quality!
Discover the details on the Zoo Animals board:
- 🔢 Patterned Numbers (1-9): The top row features numbers 1 through 9, but look closer! Each number has a unique pattern—stripes, polka dots, grids, or swirls. This aids in visual discrimination and makes counting fun.
- 🦁 The Zoo Crew: The bottom row introduces 6 beloved animals: Bear, Giraffe, Tiger, Zebra, Elephant, and Panda. It’s a perfect mix of patterns (stripes on the Tiger/Zebra) and shapes.
- 🌈 Rainbow Name: Your child’s name is painted in bold, primary colors (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue) that match the numbers above, creating a cohesive rainbow look.
- 📖 Double Vocabulary: We support literacy on two levels. The written number (e.g., “One”, “Two”) is printed under the digits, and the animal name (e.g., “Bear”, “Giraffe”) is printed under the creatures.
- 🧩 Flush Fit: As shown in the photo, the pieces are designed to sit flush with the board, creating a smooth surface that looks beautiful on display.

How to Play: The Jungle Counter
Count the numbers and name the animals:
Math Patterns: Start at the top! Point to the numbers 0-9. Ask your child: “Which number has polka dots?” (Number 2) or “Which number has blue stripes?” (Number 5). This makes learning math visually exciting.
Name Builder: Focus on the big colorful letters in the middle (e.g., B-R-Y-S-O-N). Pop them out and help your child spell their name. “B is for Bryson!”.
Animal Parade: Look at the bottom row. Meet the zoo friends! Point to the Tiger and Zebra. Ask: “Who has stripes like the number 5?”. Connecting the animal patterns to the number patterns is a fun advanced game.
Read & Match: Lift up the Panda or Elephant. Read the word printed underneath out loud. This helps your toddler understand that the text “PANDA” stands for the black and white bear.
