This is an original From Jennifer design that combines tracing and counting into a learning toy/tool for children! It will help your little ones learn how to form their Chinese numbers correctly and learn what each number represents. This is a maple hardwood board engraved with gently curved grooves, providing a form to trace with either your finger or the included tracing stick. 

The "Counting Side" comes with wooden balls. These pose a choking hazard, so use the balls with children over the age of 3 years old. You can set the balls aside and use small foods instead such as dry cereal, raisins, chocolate chips, etc. Many others have used beads, small stones, and even flower petals to fill the dimples and large tracing numbers of the board.

The "Numbers Side" has large numbers and grooves that you will trace to feel the motion of writing each number. You may also enjoy doing crayon rubbings of the numbers or filling their grooves with the balls from the counting side (or other things such as beads, stones, etc).
