Learn To Write - Numbers

by Bigjigs

A Bigjigs tracing board with recessed numerals and printed arrows, made for little fingers before pencils take over.

Blank pages can feel very big when your child is still working out where a number begins. Learn To Write - Numbers gives that first try a path to follow, with each recessed numeral guiding one careful finger from start to turn to finish.

The number they keep choosing

Some days your child may trace every number in a row. Other days, they may come back to the same one, running a finger through the recessed shape, checking the arrow, then trying again. It is the kind of quiet table-time that can happen while you are nearby, with the board doing some of the guiding so you are not correcting every turn. Over time, that repeated little route through each number can become part of how your child gets ready for writing.

Buying guidance

Is this right for your family?

Who this product is particularly well suited to.

Best for

Best for families with a child aged 36 months+ who is ready to explore number shapes in a hands-on way, away from worksheets. It is also a sensible fit when you are buying for another home and want one focused learning board, measuring 32 x 48 x 1cm, with the tracing path built into the numerals rather than relying on extra pieces.

Product overview

From unsure marks to familiar routes

Some learning feels easier when little hands can feel the answer, not just look at it. With this number board, your child can trace the same numeral many times, following the arrows and groove until the route starts to feel familiar. At first, they may move slowly around a 2 or pause at the turn in a 5. Soon, they know where their finger is meant to go next. Before long, the board becomes something they come back to whenever they want to try a number again without the pressure of getting it right on paper.

Frequently asked questions

The details families often want to know before choosing.

Still have a question? Our team is here to help.

Can siblings use this together?

It comes as one number board, so it is best thought of as a turn-taking activity. One child can trace while another watches, then they can swap.

Does my child need a pencil to use it?

No pencil is needed for the finger-tracing play described here. Your child can follow the recessed numerals and printed arrows with one finger before moving on to writing with a pencil later.
