Thanks for all the comments!!
Here are some more ideas with the tiles.
Make shapes such as trains and houses and then add paper shapes in different colours, then get your little one to match the numbers and build upwards!
Get a piece of string or wool and make a shape - letters, shapes, patterns etc. and get them to place the number tiles on them saying the number as the do it or afterwards.
Start simple - perhaps with the little house and have the numbers you are doing in them, or use it to teach that half of 4 is 8, again build upwards with matching numbers.
I printed the shapes and wheels on photo paper which made a great difference to how it looked.
So in all you can teach numbers, math, shapes, colours, letters, patterns, improve matching skills and concerntration!!!
And it's fun!!!
