The Sumblox Mini Starter Set is a handy introduction to the Sumblox world

The Sumblox Mini Starter Set contains 38 number blocks made of solid hard beech wood and thus offers individual children the opportunity to intuitively learn and practice arithmetic with the Sumblox system (more on this below). In contrast to the normal Sumblox, the building blocks are about half the size. This makes them handy and better suited for on the go. The set also includes 38 activity cards in German with popular educational games. The following blocks are included in the mini starter set:

14x the block 1
6x the block 2
4x the block 3
3x the block 4
2x each of the building blocks 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
1x the block 10

Fun, games, learning and success with Sumblox

Sumblox school set German — The Sumblox system is simple and intuitive - the way arithmetic should be

Sumblox is a mathematical stacking and learning game with which children can learn to use numbers intuitively and without instruction. Just put two, three or more numbers on top of each other. The numbers are the same height as the number that gives the result of the sum of the numbers. A 4 and a 5 stacked on top of each other are the same height as a 9.

With Sumblox you can control yourself doing math by simply comparing the height of the numbers. But not only sums are possible with the Sumblox. You can also use them to represent multiplication, division, and fractions. If you learn to calculate with Sumblox, you only need a little instruction and develop a strong self-confidence in dealing with numbers, which unfortunately usually falls by the wayside when learning on paper. Especially children with numeracy problems can benefit from the visualization of the numbers and the intuitive, playful use of them.

About Sumblox

Sumblox - stackable blocks of numbers from the USA

While David B. Skaggs, the inventor of Sumblox, was writing his master's thesis in 2012, he volunteered tutoring in elementary school in Plano, Texas. During this activity he had a student named Elijah and wanted to find new ways to get him excited about numbers and arithmetic. David tried many existing games, from card games to digital software, but none of them really excited Elijah. This was not because the student was not interested, but because these games were simply not designed to keep children's attention for more than 10 minutes.

David needed something that would help the student visualize numbers and calculations and thus gain a better understanding. So he built the first prototypes of the Sumblox. The special thing about these blocks of numbers was that they were of different sizes and that two numbers stacked on top of each other were just as high as the result of their sum. Not only was Elijah thrilled, other students were also able to learn numbers, calculations and even fractions in a playful way and also have fun.

After a Kickstarter campaign in 2014, the product was mass produced and is now available all over the world. Take a look at the Sumblox in our shop and let yourself be convinced by this brilliant idea to bring children closer to numbers in a playful way.

Pay for pre-orders later

What is a pre-order?
Pre-ordering allows you to purchase a product before it is available. By pre-ordering a product, you reserve a product so that you are among the first to receive this product as soon as it is available after the start of sales. The date of the start of sale is displayed under the "Order" button and represents the approximate date on which you will receive the pre-ordered product.

Why pre-order a product?
Pre-ordering is a hassle-free solution for reserving a product. This is how you ensure that you are among the first to receive a product that is in high demand. But that's not all. A pre-order also means that you don't have to wait in line at the next store at the start of the sale or wait even longer because the desired product is no longer in stock. With a pre-order, the desired product is conveniently sent to your home as soon as it is available and you are guaranteed to receive it at the launch date or shortly thereafter.

When will my order be delivered?
Your order will normally be dispatched shortly before the start of sales / market launch. This means that you will receive the product at the current start of sales or shortly afterwards.

Can I combine a pre-order with regular orders?
Of course that is possible. However, if you want to receive the products from a regular order quickly, we strongly recommend that you complete your pre-order as a separate process. If you complete regular orders together with pre-orders in one operation, this can lead to a delay in the delivery of the entire order.

Can all products be pre-ordered?
No, only selected products can be pre-ordered. A corresponding symbol on the product page shows which products are available for pre-order. After the launch date for a product has expired, it is no longer possible to pre-order that product.

How can I be sure that you have received my pre-order?
As soon as you have completed your order, you will receive an email confirming that it has been received. The confirmation email will state which products you have ordered and when they will be shipped. If you have placed an order but have not received an email confirmation within 24 hours, please contact our customer service.

Purchase on account (only for schools, kindergartens, authorities, etc.)

Important: This option does not apply to private customers!

If you would like to order in our shop for a school, a kindergarten, an authority or another public institution, you can arrange a purchase on account. The invoice will then be issued to you by us and not by a third party.

In this case we ask you to place your order by email stating the facility to info@brainbowtoys.de to give up. At this address we are also available for questions at any time.
