Help your pre-schooler develop early problem-solving skills through exciting, sensory play.

Frozen Number Rescue is a fun sensory activity that encourages children to experiment with different ways to rescue numbers frozen in ice. As they try warm water, spoons, pipettes or other tools, they'll explore cause and effect, test their own ideas and practise persevering when something doesn't work straight away, while recognising the numbers they uncover.

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. The activity is designed to be flexible. Freeze plastic or foam numbers in water and use a selection of child-friendly tools you already have at home to find different ways to set them free.
