Number Stepping Stones - Pack of 21

Step right up to outdoor maths adventures with our Number Stepping Stones! This set of 21 rustic, wooden stones, numbered from 0 to 20, is ready to turn any patch of grass, playground, or nature space into a maths wonderland. For learners in Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) settings, these stones bring numeracy to life, letting learners hop, skip, and step through numbers while learning in fresh air. Made from natural wood, each stone carries its own unique grain and character, ranging from 10 to 15cm in diameter. As natural products, these stones wear their charm proudly, with some rugged edges, bark peeling, or occasional splits that remind us they’re right from the forest floor. Their beautifully rustic quality helps bring nature closer to learning and stands up to outdoor wear.

From lining the stones in sequence to creating a ‘river’ that only the correct number path can cross, these stepping stones offer a versatile and engaging way to support numeracy development. Learners can arrange the stones in order or jumble them up for a game of number hopscotch, offering a tactile way to build number familiarity and sequencing skills. 

Pair them with a Mark Making Board House for even more creative maths fun, where they can write their score during the fun activity. Or include the colourful Mushroom Number Seats nearby to create a complete outdoor maths hub where learners can pause, observe, or count their findings.

No assembly is required, so these stepping stones are ready to use from the start, saving precious setup time. They’re sturdy and built to handle enthusiastic play in all weather, thanks to their durable wooden construction. Rain or shine, these stepping stones can create new pathways of learning, with the natural feel of wood helping learners connect with nature while developing fundamental maths skills. Whether it’s practising number lines, creating counting games, or simply exploring numbers in a new setting, these stepping stones bring imagination, play, and learning together.

Whether used for a friendly number race, building a maths path or just hopping from one number to the next, our Number Stepping Stones are sure to be a hit in your outdoor area, bringing maths to life with every step!
