I believe that YPO will sell them but I don't know if they are available to the public or just schools, etc. My old schools used to get practically everything from here.

bring back memories i remember the plastic ones they were little cubes that fitted together...Other women want a boob job. Honey the only silicone i'm interested in is on a 12 cup muffin tray, preferably shaped like little hearts

for basic counting and adding and taking away, all mine started off with oxo cubes. the never got the urge to eat them, and it worked a treat.0

I too am also looking for the little plastic cubes I used at school for counting - I'm sure we used to call them Dufix cubes or bricks. They were about 1" cubed and connected one on top of the other and were great for learning simple addition and subtraction (and making long sticks to throw at each other!). Everything seems to be so elaborate these days (and expensive!). They would be ideal for my two young boys. Ah well, at least I'm not the only one who remembers them!

I bought a bag of coloured plastic counters in a craft shop and we used them for all sorts of counting and sorting games. They came in later to help explain multiplication and division too.Here I go again on my own....0

we have been using lego bricks this summer.
My son has gone back to school and is doing Year 2 maths now as he understands the whole concept. he is in Year 1, so working at home definately benefits.
