Help your pre-schooler explore number and quantity by building playful number houses.

Lollypop Stick Houses helps children see that written numbers represent real amounts. Your child chooses a numbered roof, counts out the matching number of lolly sticks and places them underneath to build the house. As they create and compare their houses, they’ll practise careful counting, check whether they have too many or too few sticks and begin noticing which amounts are bigger or smaller.

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. Start with numbers 1–3, then introduce larger numbers, compare the finished houses or arrange them in order from smallest to largest.
