Help your Year 1 child explore doubles by building two equal groups.

Fill the Wings is a hands-on doubling activity that encourages children to place the same number of objects on each side of a ladybird and work out how many there are altogether. As they build and compare the two equal groups, they'll develop a clear understanding of what doubling means rather than simply memorising double facts.

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 a printable ladybird sheet, ready to use with counters, blocks, stones or other small counting objects.
