When one of the children started to use a wooden dice, which made lots of noise as it was rolled onto the table, I replaced it with one of a set of 5 foam dice I had in the cupboard. I took the 5 foam dice out of the cupboard and put them into a tub, making them available for the children to play with. The 5 dice have been explored as a cube, recognizing the number of dots, numbers more and less, same & different.
