First play Learn and Play Pack

The First play Learn and Play Pack brings letters, numbers and movement together in one activity collection. With number cones, symbol cones, dice, themed beanbags, ball scarves and alphabet playballs, it gives children practical objects to handle while they count, recognise letters and take part in simple games. It is a useful choice for schools, nurseries and families who want to make early learning an active, shared experience.

Children can carry a beanbag to a numbered cone, choose a letter ball for the beginning of a familiar name or sort the fruit and vegetable beanbags into groups. These are physical tasks with a clear purpose: look at the resource, decide where it belongs and move it into position. An adult can simplify the challenge by offering fewer choices or extend it by introducing a number sentence using the symbol cones.

The different types of equipment make it possible to change the activity without changing the whole collection. A counting session can become a turn-taking throwing game, while a group of alphabet balls can prompt a conversation about sounds and words. Number ball scarves add another way to explore controlled movement, and the playground Earth ball offers a shared focus for rolling and passing activities.

For educational buyers, this variety is particularly useful when planning small activity stations. One group might sort beanbags while another works with cones and dice, with an adult choosing the equipment and level of challenge for each group. At home, a small selection can support a short game that follows a child's current interest in letters, numbers or pretend shopping.

The supplied storage box and lid help bring the collection back together after a session. Sorting the resources as they are put away can become part of the learning: children can group matching equipment, check which pieces belong together and describe what they used. The pack offers many starting points for practical literacy and numeracy activities, with the play shaped by the resources selected and the questions adults introduce.

Counting, Sorting and Number Games

Roll a die and count out a matching group of beanbags. Arrange number cones in sequence, then ask children to find a missing position. Use symbol cones to build a simple calculation with an adult, matching the written number to a physical quantity.

Letters and Language Through Movement

Choose a small group of alphabet playballs and ask children to find a familiar letter. Children can carry a selected ball to an agreed place or pass it to a partner before naming it. Keep letter names and letter sounds clear when modelling an activity.

Why Choose the First play Learn and Play Pack?
