If you've got a little Numberblocks fan at home, this new colourful and creative craft kit from Learning Resources is the perfect way to bring the magic of the hit CBeebies show to life.

Inspired by the show's Stampoline Park episode, the bumper Numberblocks Stampoline Park Stamp Activity Kit (for ages 3+) includes 20 block and face stamps to create the Numberblocks 1 to 10, as well as 12 easy-to-open ink pads.

Everything is perfectly sized for little hands, the inks are washable and the stamps are easy to wipe clean – but what we love the most is how much fun the set is to use.

And, because it encourages an early love and understanding of maths in such a creative way, the activity set has won our MadeForMums Parent Approved badge, after being put to the test by the parents and children in our MadeForMums Top Testers Club.

We asked 10 families to test the set out and share their honest feedback with us on everything from quality to kid appeal. Here's what our little testers and their parents – including an Early Years teacher – said…

'I’m a teacher and I love it'

Numberblocks Stampoline Park Stamp Activity Set being tested by child tester Macsen

"At work we use the NCETM (National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics) Numberblocks scheme of learning in school, so after playing with the Stampoline Park Stamp Activity Set with my son, I took it into school and tested it with learners in the Early Years Foundation Stage. They absolutely loved it and we have bought 3 sets for next academic year. It's such a great resource for children aged between 3 and 5."

'It makes learning fun'

Numberblocks Stampoline Park Stamp Activity Set being tested by child tester Saami

"It's such a good way to help your children learn about their numbers and instil the basics of numeracy. It's fun and educational all in one – in fact, my son didn't realise he was learning because he was having so much fun."
Ayshea, mum of Saami, 5 (above)

'It's perfect for independent play'

Numberblocks Stampoline Park Stamp Activity Set being tested by child tester Arthur

"Arthur had no problems opening the Numberblocks Stampoline Park Activity Set by himself and he started to copy the number sequences on the activity sheet straightaway. It was all easy to navigate and, while it's fun to play along with your child, the set is also simple enough to allow them to play on their own. Arthur really enjoyed creating the different shapes from the TV show and, as he was doing it, he said, 'I’m really good at this!' It's helped build his confidence, which makes him want to experiment more."
Emily, mum of Arthur, 4 (above)

'It's great for travelling'

Numberblocks Stampoline Park Stamp Activity Set being tested by child tester Inara

"I love the colourful packaging and the fact that it's a carrycase is excellent as it means your child can carry it around and we can travel with it and my children can play with it together in the car. There are plenty of stamps to share among siblings and I love that there's room to store a few sheets of paper inside, too. Inara kept saying, 'Mummy, can I take it to Grandma's house? I can do it myself and take it in my hand!'"
Aanaisah, mum of Inara, 3 (above)

'I like counting and all the colours!'

Numberblocks Stampoline Park Stamp Activity Set being tested by child tester Nylah

"I watch this on TV. I like counting my squares and learning my numbers. I like all the colours. I can make 5 and count it, I can make 6 to 10 and count it. Look, look I made 10 squares 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 – yay!"
Child tester Nylah, 3 (above)

'It’s (almost) mess-free'

Numberblocks Stampoline Park Stamp Activity Set being tested by child tester Violet

"I found that the stamps were not as messy as other stamps I’ve used, which I think is a big benefit! It's such a great activity for a rainy day – not only does it let children be creative in a non-messy way, it also encourages them to talk and learn about numbers and colours."
Georgina, mum of Violet, 3 (above)
