Help your pre-schooler build number confidence through an exciting hunt and race.
Number Hunt Toy Race is a fun, active game that combines a number hunt with a toy race. Children search for hidden numbers and use each one they find to move the matching toy along its numbered lane. As they play, they'll practise recognising and matching numbers, counting spaces and comparing which toys are ahead or behind, building early number confidence through playful learning.
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. Create a simple racetrack using whatever you already have at home, choose some favourite toys and write the numbers onto sticky notes or small pieces of paper ready to hide and find.
