This cardboard hundreds board is one of our best ideas. We have found so many ways to use it, play with it and learn with it.

You can use this board to learn about numbers, play games or make many other interactive activities for children using it.

Get creative with some big cardboard shapes and loose parts. Children can make big picture scenes using these shapes or just enjoy using the shapes as shapes!

This is a great way for children to learn about different shapes while playing and creating. Read this blog to find out more.
