Baby Bear Counters - 102 Pieces, Ages 3+ | Grades Pre-K+ Toddler Learning Toys, Counters for Kids, Counting Manipulatives, Teddy Bear Counters

My four-year-old twins are starting school this fall and I wanted to get some toys that are multi-purpose, educational toys, as well as fun! After some searching, I came across this cute set of Baby Bear Counters. We already had some toys made by the same company and liked them so I didn't hesitate to purchase this set. This particular set of Baby Bear Counters comes with 102 bears (please note, on the product page one part says there are 120 and another says 102. There are 102 bears, just like the packaging says and I verified this by counting them all when we first received our set.). There are six different colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple so there are 17 bears of each color. They are all the same size, measuring about an inch in height. In one of the pictures I've included, I'm using a quarter for size reference. This set comes in a nice plastic container with a lid and they are made in China. There are a number of activities you can use with these bears and there is a guide included. Some activities are: color sorting, addition, subtraction, patterns, counting, and visual memory, among many others. There are also suggestions for some games included in the bucket. So far, my kids have used these mostly for color sorting and imaginative play but I see us using these a lot, especially when they start school. They are also practicing their counting skills and these bears are perfect for that! Besides being extremely cute, these bears are durable and made of hard plastic. The recommended age is for ages three and older and I would definitely be aware of that if you are considering purchasing these. The bears are rather small and a small child who likes to put items in his or her mouth could easily choke on them. As some other reviewers mentioned, the red and orange bears sometimes look similar in color, depending on the light (I even have trouble occasionally), but if you use them in brighter light, you should be fine. Overall, we are very happy with this purchase and I'm so glad I found these! They are cute, colorful, and come in a nice plastic tub for easy storage. There are so many activities we can use with these bears and, when my kids start school, these will come in handy for helping them learn. If you want a toy for your preschooler that is both fun and educational, I highly recommend these!

Helpful for kids when adding or subtracting. They're a hard plastic, lightweight, and worth the money

These cute little bears really helped by granddaughter who was delayed. She counts very well ow, and we are starting to use them for addition and subtraction. So colorful, and really a nice educational tool.

Great size for task boxes. They are also made of durable plastic that is also easy to clean. They are super cute and the kids love them.

ADORABLE! Will be using these in a jar for "guess how many bears" for a baby shower. Well made, and I found the orange color to be plenty different from the red IMHO.

Must have for visual math! My son is autistic and these are helping tremendously with learning patterns, grouping, math! I should have gotten these sooner. Amazing value and quality for the price!

I've been trying to teach my preschooler about patterns and sorting and these have been so helpful! In the plastic storage tub, you get 102 counting bears in 6 colors: orange, red, yellow, blue, green, and purple. Each baby bear measures about 1" tall and has etched fur detailing on it. You also get a small paper insert with ideas for different activities such as using the bears for pattern making, addition and subtraction, estimating, sorting by colors, and counting. I love that there are so many uses for these as she grows and learns harder concepts. She really enjoys using these and doesn't even realize that she's learning. Unfortunately, our idea insert came glued to the inside of the tub and when I tried to gently remove it, I ended up ripping a part of it off. The bears are very well made and are made of hard, sturdy plastic. My only complaint about the bears is that the orange and the red bears are too similar in color shade and when we are trying to sort by color or are making a pattern, it becomes very difficult to tell the two colors apart. I wish instead of orange, the manufacturer would've chosen a color that was drastically different from the red and much easier to tell apart, such as pink or black. Overall, these are great learning tools and we have gotten a lot of use out of them so far!

These bears are wonderful. They are the smaller ones, so make sure that is what you'd like to purchase. As a teacher, I see bears like this used in early elementary classrooms all the time. They are used for multiple math activities such as counting, making and completing patterns, adding, subtracting, and solving story problems. The only complaint I have is that the lid was cracked and broken when it arrived. The Amazon packaging was a poly mailer, which didn't protect the bears container in transport. The UPS worker was fantastic. When he delivered the package he explained that I may want to contact Amazon as he believed something inside may have not be packaged correctly and was now broken. So, kudos to him for taking the time to knock on the door and let us know. Fortunately it was only the lid, and the bears were fine as they are very good quality and solid plastic. I'll just put them in a different container.

Muy bien hechos con colores variados, ideales para las manos de los pequeños. Una forma divertida de aprender colores, números, agrupaciones, sumas y restas, etc. Buena calidad del plástico aunque no dice que tipo de plástico es

these are so sturdy and also detailed. we use them for Maths and for patterns and also as ‘toy soldiers’ or ‘town folk’! Colours are super bright.

Pedi estos ositos para practicar el conteo con mis alumnos de preescolar les encanta y también me ayudo enseñarles los colores.

Perfect and cute to entice and encourage kids of all ages some basic math concepts, I am sure they can also be used in craft projects as well. Appears to be a nice even variety of primary colours the best is the kiddo loves them so here's hoping it helps.

Llegaron rápido y el material me ha sido muy funcional en mi trabajo.
