Made of wood. You will need a jigsaw with fine nozzles and a sheet of plywood. Cutting out numbers, signs and shapes. Be sure to sand the edges. Ready-made elements can be painted in bright colors with your baby.

You can also make a small storage box for storage.

From paper. For the base, we take a folder or a cardboard sheet. We glue strips of paper on them to make pockets. Next, we print or write signs, numbers, figures and cut them out to fit the pockets. During the lesson, we lay out the numbers and signs in the pockets and deal with the child. Suitable for adult children, students in grades 1-2.

From fabric... An interesting toy for practicing. An excellent option for babies, since you cannot harm yourself with a soft cloth. We sew a base with pockets in the likeness of a cash register made of paper. Pockets can be sewn from tape or strips of fabric. The inserts can be made of paper, you can use numbers embroidered with threads on a piece of fabric. You can cut out numbers and sew them onto a fabric card.

To make the fabric easier to move and work with the material in the future, it is better to make a cardboard lining.
