hand2mind MathLink Cubes Numberblocks 11–20 Activity Set — 155 linking cubes, faceplates & activity cards

Inspired by the BBC's Numberblocks series, this officially licensed hand2mind activity set turns abstract number ideas into tangible models children can create, manipulate, and modify. The set combines connecting cubes with character faceplates, stickers, activity cards, and themed accessories so young learners can reenact episodes, follow guided challenges, or invent their own math stories.

How will this set help my child understand numbers beyond counting?

The bricks link physically to show grouping, place value, and simple operations, transforming counting into visible math relationships. By joining and separating units, children observe how numbers form sums, differences, and equal groups.

• 155 colored linking cubes illustrate units and tens visually
• Faceplates and stickers create identifiable Numberblocks characters
• Numberlings and character cards support role-play for mathematical concepts

What materials and pieces are included in the activity set?

This kit is stocked with cubes and supportive materials so you can start exploring right away. Pieces are durable and sized for small hands, with reusable write-and-wipe cards to extend practice.

• 155 MathLink Numberblocks cubes for constructing numbers 11–20
• 52 faceplates, 44 stickers, and 10 Numberlings for character customization
• 10 character cards, 15 double-sided write-and-wipe activity cards, and a marker
• Themed accessories: Fourteen’s skateboard and helmet plus Twenty’s top hat, and an activity guide

How can I use the activities with screen episodes or independent play?

Thirty guided activities correspond with Numberblocks episodes, so you can pause the show and recreate scenes or extend lessons off-screen. The write-and-wipe cards and activity guide also make it easy to design step-by-step challenges for small groups or solo practice.

• Follow episode-linked tasks to mirror on-screen learning
• Use write-and-wipe cards for repeated practice and assessment
• Role-play with character cards and Numberlings to build engagement

Is this set suitable for classroom use and repeated handling?

The materials are classroom-friendly and resilient enough for repeated use in preschool and kindergarten settings. Components are organized to support small-group lessons, math centers, or home learning rotations.

• Sturdy linking cubes designed for frequent joining and separating
• Reusable activity cards and a wipe pen for ongoing lessons
• Enough pieces to support several children working together
