Materials Needed for Counting Game Crochet Pattern

Assembly Instructions

• Sew each crocheted number firmly onto its corresponding white circle base using matching thread and small whip stitches around the edges.
• Arrange the seven rainbow bowls from smallest to largest (purple, dark blue, light blue, green, yellow, orange, red) for organized storage.
• Place the correct number of colored balls into each corresponding bowl (one purple ball in purple bowl, two dark blue balls in dark blue bowl, and so on).
• Attach the plus sign, minus sign, and equal sign pieces onto the three white square patches using secure stitching.
• Ensure all yarn ends are woven in completely and trimmed close to prevent loose threads during play.
• Test that all balls fit comfortably inside their corresponding bowls without spilling over the edges.
• Store the complete counting game set together in a basket or container to keep all pieces organized and ready for learning adventures.

Important Notes

• 💡Use stitch markers consistently throughout the pattern to track your rounds and avoid losing your place in continuous rounds
• 💡Maintain consistent tension when crocheting the bowls to ensure they hold their shape and stack neatly inside each other
• 💡Stuff the counting balls firmly and evenly so they maintain a round shape and roll properly during play
• 💡Double-check that you're working the correct number of increase rounds for each bowl size as they progressively get larger
• 💡Take your time when sewing numbers onto the white circles to ensure they're centered and securely attached for durability
• 💡Keep color consistency throughout the project by using the same dye lot of yarn for each color to avoid variations
