A toddler steers the coloured beads along the tracks with a magnetic wand attached by a cord and into five ice cream cones numbered 1 to 5, counting the scoops as they go. 30 x 17 x 1.2cm, from 18 months, designed in France by Speedy Monkey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🍦 Counting, one scoop at a time\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach cone is numbered, from one to five, so filling them becomes a counting game: one scoop in the first, two in the second, and so on.
