Grimm's Counting Stack Game | Counting by Colour

The Grimm’s Counting Stack Game is a beautifully designed wooden maths toy that helps children explore numbers in a visual way. Ten wooden rods hold colour-coded blocks of different heights and quantities, with each completed stack reaching the same total height of 10 (or one whole). This makes it much easier for children to see how numbers relate to one another, how smaller values combine to make larger ones, and how mathematical ideas can be understood through size, colour, and quantity.

Children can use the blocks to explore number bonds, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and fractions. Because every rod builds to the same total of 10, the fractional relationships become clear through play. The smallest teal blocks each represent one tenth, the blocks worth 2 each represent one fifth, the blocks worth 5 show one half, and the single dark blue block represents one whole. This makes part-whole relationships and equivalence much easier for children to grasp because they can see and handle the maths for themselves.

This set is part of Grimm’s World of Numbers, a connected range of colour-coded maths toys where each number from 1 to 10 keeps the same colour across compatible sets. That means the Counting Stack Game works beautifully alongside other Grimm’s Counting by Colour toys, including the Numbers Building Set, 10-Piece Counting Rainbow, and Stepped Counting Blocks. Used together, these toys create a wider hands-on maths resource world that helps children build confidence with number through consistent visual and tactile learning.

Made from sustainable European lime wood and finished with water-based colour stain, the blocks have the tactile, velvety feel that makes Grimm’s toys so distinctive. The translucent finish allows the natural grain of the wood to remain visible, giving each piece warmth and character. This is a wonderfully useful resource for families, classrooms, and home educators looking for a maths toy that makes fractions tangible.
