Stack and Count Layer Cake
This stackable treat is a tasty way to develop number recognition, early counting skills and sequencing!
Each of the 10 layers feature coloured icing with decorations to count and a different coloured numeral from 1-10. The colour-coded chocolate and vanilla layers introduce odd and even numbers which can be stacked, ideal for fine motor skills, or nest inside one another for compact storage.
This fabulous counting cake, which stands 55cm high when stacked, is great for imaginative play and a really fun way to develop early number skills.
The durable plastic layers measure from 5cm to 18cm in diameter, they are easy to wipe clean and nest for storage.
"The bright attractive items immediately caught the attention of the children and throughout the trial they were still requested regularly and enjoyed. They were more robust than other similar products."
(Practical Pre-School Awards, September 2008)
"The layer cake was a challenge for the children. It encouraged them to persevere and explore the sizes in order for them to place the cakes in the correct order and complete the task. It encouraged them to work together and help each other. The children also enjoyed counting the stars and discovering what number was written on the side. Some of the children had a different number of layers and were able to talk about who had the shortest and tallest cake towers."
