Help your Reception child build confidence with counting and addition through playful, hands-on maths.

Crocodile Chomp turns early number practice into a fun game of filling a hungry crocodile’s mouth with teeth! Your child rolls a dice, adds the matching number of teeth and counts carefully as the crocodile’s mouth begins to fill. With each new roll, they’ll combine amounts, find the new total and begin developing useful strategies such as counting on rather than always starting again from one.

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 the Crocodile Chomp printable template, ready to use with playdough and cotton buds, pieces of paper or similar items for teeth.
