Help your pre-schooler build number confidence through play.

Peg the Hedgehog is a simple, hands-on activity that encourages children to match numbers to quantities by clipping the correct number of pegs onto each hedgehog. As children play, they'll practise recognising numbers, one-to-one counting and comparing quantities, helping them build confidence and understand what numbers really mean.

Simple to set up and easy to adapt, you'll receive a parent-friendly guide with clear instructions, practical learning tips and ideas to extend the play as your child's confidence grows. You'll also receive printable hedgehog number cards (1–10), plus two blank hedgehog cards to create your own number challenges.
