Key Attributes
Iconic Educational Tool
Master Early Maths with the Original "Compare Bears"
Trusted by teachers for decades, the Three Bear Family (widely known as Compare Bears) is a classroom staple for a reason. These versatile counters are the perfect tactile tool for helping young children grasp essential early maths concepts, including counting, sorting, and sequencing, in a fun and engaging way.
Multi-Attribute Learning
Explore Size, Colour, and Patterning
With 96 bears in six vibrant colours, three different sizes, and three distinct weights, the learning possibilities are endless.

Introduce Mass and Comparison with Ease
Unlike standard plastic counters, these bears are proportionally weighted. This unique feature makes them ideal for use with a balance scale, allowing pupils to physically discover the "why" behind mass and weight comparison as they balance different combinations of small, medium, and large bears.
