Discover the joy of learning numbers with our DIY cardboard hundreds board! This engaging activity allows children to explore the concept of numbers up to 100 using a cardboard grid and simple counters or bottle lids. Whether at home or in the classroom, this versatile board offers a multitude of ways to enhance numeracy skills. Children can visualise number placement within the first 100 numbers, practice counting to 100, and even delve into skip counting.
What does 100 look like and feel like? Use this hundreds board to encourage children to explore the number 100. It is great for counting but also for so much more. Children can spot patterns and use coloured loose parts to visualise these number patterns. Children can make shapes, pictures and patterns with loose parts. This activity is great for fine motor skills, spatial awareness, problem-solving and symmetry.

Games teach children so many skills from counting and communication to perseverance and critical thinking. Children will have fun and learn without even knowing it.
