FAQs
Are these stones safe for toddlers?
These are designed for early learners, but please be aware they are small objects that may present a choking hazard for children under 3 years of age.
Can I leave these outside permanently?
Yes, they are weatherproof, though storing them indoors will keep them cleaner and extend their lifespan.
How many stones are in the box?
The set includes 22 stones in total.
Do these represent odd and even numbers?
Yes, because the set includes two of every number from 0 to 10, they are excellent for demonstrating pairs and odd/even distribution.
What is the best way to introduce these to a child?
Start by identifying the numbers on the ladybugs, then move to counting physical objects alongside the corresponding stone.
Are they dishwasher safe?
While they are very durable, it is recommended to wash them by hand to preserve the paint finish.
Troubleshooting
Stones become dull after outdoor use
Wash with mild soap and water, then buff with a soft cloth to restore the shine.
Individual stones are missing from the set
The set contains two of each number, so you can still complete many equations even if one stone is misplaced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No assembly is required for the Yellow Door Ladybug Counting Stones. To maintain their longevity, rinse them with warm, soapy water if they become soiled during outdoor play and ensure they are dried thoroughly before storing them in a container. They are fully compatible with other Yellow Door sensory resources and can be paired with base-ten blocks or counting frames to further bridge the gap between concrete objects and numerical symbols. Store the stones in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent loss.
