Transparent Numbers - Numbers 0-9

These bright, tactile numbers are a maths area essential. Whether you’re counting, sequencing or simply trying to get “number recognition” to stick beyond the number three, these colourful plastic digits are ready to earn their keep.

Made from tough, transparent plastic in eye-catching shades, this 0–9 set works brilliantly on lightboxes, windowsills or overlaid on pattern blocks and sensory trays. Each number is large enough (H5cm) for small hands to grip comfortably, and they’re sturdy enough to withstand enthusiastic early years play.

Ideal for EYFS and KS1 continuous provision, they can be used across your setting: in sand trays for number hunts, on mirror trays for spatial reasoning, or alongside natural loose parts for patterning and grouping. Supports counting, ordering, ordinality and reasoning—while also giving children tactile input and visual feedback. A hands-on way to meet early learning goals without worksheets in sight.

Use them to build number lines, link numerals to quantities, or create repeating patterns with a mathematical twist. Throw in some light, water or texture—and suddenly maths becomes far more exciting than a worksheet.
