Color Matching Peg Board: Counting Sticks Puzzle With Activity Cards
A wooden peg-board set with 16 colored sticks and 20 activity cards for color sequencing, pattern matching, and simple counting/grouping. Designed for supervised tabletop use; finish and compliance details should be verified with the seller.
What This Set Is (and What It’s Not)
This is a peg-board matching set: insert colored sticks into the board to match the color bars shown on an activity card. The same sticks can also be used for simple free-build shapes shown in the listing images.
It is not a classic pick-up-sticks (Mikado) game, and it is not a balance-tower stick game. If you want a card-guided matching loop (board + sticks + cards), this format matches that intent.
Quick identity checklist:
- Wooden board with holes
- 16 colored sticks
- 20 activity cards
What’s Included and a 60-Second Quick Start
Included components shown: 1 wooden base board, 16 colored wooden sticks, and 20 activity cards. Confirm the piece count on your specific listing in case multiple versions exist.
Setup (3 steps):
- Place the board on a flat table.
- Pick one activity card.
- Sort sticks by color for quick access.
One-card walkthrough: match the first color bar on the card by inserting the correct stick, then continue in order until the sequence matches from above. To reset, remove sticks and do a quick count-back (1 board, 16 sticks, 20 cards).
Modes and Variations Using the Same Parts
Card mode: follow the activity card pattern exactly. To make it easier, start with fewer colors visible or complete only the first half of a card sequence.
Free-build mode: recreate the simple shapes shown in the images, then create a new shape by limiting yourself to a set number of sticks (for example, 6–8).
Counting mode: group sticks by color to represent quantities and compare groups side by side. Keep it simple and supervised, and treat it as a physical way to practice counting rather than a guaranteed learning outcome.
Safety Boundaries, Materials, and Care
Age and supervision: the listing positions the set for ages 3–6 and the components are small. Use with supervision and avoid use for ages under 3.
Pre-use inspection: check the board and stick ends for rough spots, splinters, or peeling paint/coating. If damage is present, stop use and contact the seller with photos.
Care: wipe clean with a lightly damp cloth, avoid soaking, and store dry. A simple table-only boundary (no throwing or chewing) reduces misuse risk for small parts.
Specifications, Storage, and FAQ-Style Checks
Shown dimensions (approx.): board length about 20 cm and height about 5 cm; activity cards about 9×6 cm; sticks about 7 cm long. Use a small tabletop footprint and keep the parts contained to one play area.
How to prevent lost pieces: end each session with a count-back (1 board, 16 sticks, 20 cards). Store in a dedicated pouch/box and avoid mixing parts with other sets.
Finish and compliance: do not assume certifications unless the seller provides documentation. If finish details matter for your market, verify before ordering and re-check on arrival.
Missing or damaged parts: photograph the issue immediately and contact the seller with order details. Do not rely on replacement promises unless your store policy states them.
FAQ
What’s included in the set?
Components shown: 1 wooden board, 16 colored wooden sticks, and 20 activity cards. If your listing has variants, confirm the piece count before ordering.
What age is this set for?
The listing positions it for ages 3–6. Because the set includes multiple small sticks, it is not suitable for children under 3 and should be used with adult supervision.
How do you play with the activity cards?
Place the board on a flat table, choose one activity card, then insert the matching colored sticks in the same order as the color bars shown on the card. Reset by removing the sticks and doing a quick count-back to keep pieces together.
What skills can it support?
Based on the listed functions and shown play, it can be used for color sequencing and pattern matching, fine-motor practice (grasp/place/align), hand–eye coordination, and simple counting/grouping under supervision.
Any safety notes?
Small parts require supervised tabletop use and are not suitable for under 3. Before first use, inspect for rough spots, splinters, or peeling finish; stop use if damage is present. Finish/coating certifications are not documented in the provided materials—verify with the seller if needed.
