Guest Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) I've made and double laminated numbers to hang outside but they are not really robust enough for the children to use. So thinking about buying some. Anyone recommend some please ideally 1-20? We do have the carpet tile numbers but we are looking for some that we can hopefully hang up so the children can swop them around etc! Thanks Edited November 13, 2013 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_5970 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Mindstretchers sell 'slices' of natural wood that you can write on so that might be an option. I've only seen them online though, we haven't bought them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_73 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I was in a setting recently that has a set of numerals that looked like rattan, and which the children had woven bits of thread, ribbon etc in. They looked great fixed to their fence. I'm sure she said they came from tts, but I cant quite recall now, it was a while back. Im sure someone will know the ones I mean.

AnonyMouse_13789 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I use cones and the children use them loads for their bike games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes TTS sell the rattan style numbers. We have number rubbing plaques also from TTS which our children love to either just touch and feel the textures and patterns or to do rubbings over. They are only 1 to 10 though. Mel x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_4562 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 INSPIRATION IN THE SHOWER ALERT!!!! Think I may have come up with an idea that might work. What about putting numbers or letters inside plastic jars like those that Baker Ross use for sequins etc then no more nails-ing the lid on then hang outdoors? Could either put number / letter cards inside or glue to inside of jar. Probably best to dominate these for extra resistance against moisture? What do you think??
