Counting looks simple, but for a preschooler it's a stack of separate skills learning to work together: saying the number words in order, touching each object exactly once as they count (that's called one-to-one correspondence), and understanding that the last number they say is how many there are. Digby's Dino Dig practises all three at once — your child brushes away sand, uncovers bones, and counts each one out loud with Digby.
Because every prompt is spoken aloud and every button is a big picture, a child who can't read yet can play completely on their own. There's no timer and no way to "lose" — just the satisfying loop of digging, counting, and celebrating, which is exactly the kind of low-pressure repetition that makes counting stick.
Made for parents who read the fine print. The Learning Garden shows zero ads, uses no trackers or analytics, and collects nothing about your child — and you don't have to take our word for it. See the proof and test it yourself →
