Math Anxiety is Real
|
Fear of math is very real, especially for children that have special needs. Building confidence - one block at a time - can help children develop a sense of accomplishment that will improve their overall performance & success in school starting as early as 2 years of age.
Many children struggle with abstract concepts and research has found that using visual, physical and tactile objects vs. paper or computer screens helps to make more meaningful connections. |

Help keep our forests alive and growing
🌳 Wood is a renewable resource and making wood products helps to keep our forests alive. We've taken great care in selecting a United States Manufacturer, Maine Wood Concepts, located in the heart of Maine. All wood waste generated from the manufacturing process is reused.
Sustainability Matters
Sustainable & Responsible Packaging
♻️ 🇺🇸 Each Digit Widgit Kit comes in a storage box with a handle for easy carrying. We listened to parents and teachers when they shared that storage is very important. Through the design process, we thought carefully about our users needs and our commitment to providing sustainable designs. Being able to reuse the packaging helps to cut down on our environmental impact.
Made of High Quality Premium Solid Wood
🌳The Digit Widgit® is proudly made in the USA of premium quality natural solid wood. It is durable, long-lasting, and biodegradable. As an organic, renewable, and sustainable sourced product, the Digit Widgit® gives you a peace of mind that your pledge will be supporting the health of our children and the environment.
Solid wood is naturally anti-microbial and self-cleaning as the porous surface of the wood deprives bacteria of the moisture that they need to survive. The Digit Widgit® is a timeless design, and our hope is that it will be passed down from generation to generation instead of just ending up in a landfill.

Sustainable Manufacturing
♻️ 🇺🇸 We've taken great care in selecting a United States Manufacturer, Maine Wood Concepts, located in the heart of Maine. Our first production for working prototypes went awesome and we are so excited to start producing in high volume. Through the process, we learned a lot, and we've worked closely with our manufacturer to plan for mass production of the numbered blocks, each carefully weighed to ensure that the balance will be level when the math is correct.
Sustainability and high quality are among our core values. Maine Wood Concepts is Chain of Custody certified by FSC®/ Forest Stewardship Council®, an international, independent nonprofit organization devoted to the responsible management of resources. And they recycle all wood waste generated from the manufacturing process.

care & cleaningKeep your kit looking sharp with these cleaning recommendations and tips.

natural wood
Why natural wood with no finish? To begin with, natural wood products tend to have naturally occurring antibacterial properties. In short, bacteria doesn’t tend to multiply or live long on dry natural wood. Secondly, we want our products to be safe and environmentally friendly. Many finishes and varnishes are harmful to either humans or our planet.
care & cleaning
Toys need cleaned from time to time. How do you care for the Digit Widgit since it is natural wood without a finish? DO NOT submerge the blocks in liquid. Wipe down the surface with a damp cloth. Gentle cleansers if necessary. We do not recommend spraying the blocks with any cleaning solution. If a cleaning solution is used, spray the cloth and then wipe down the blocks. Some discoloration of the blocks is likely to occur over time.
DO NOT submerge blocks in liquid
DO NOT spray cleaning solutions directly on blocks
Want to add a finish?**
If you wish to add a finish to your Digit Widgit kit to protect the wood and make cleaning a little easier, a finish can be added to the blocks. Several options are available while still remaining child-safe and environmentally friendly. Food grade finishes, like mineral oils or beeswax finish will seal the pores of the wood and prevent most outside substances from soaking into the wood. Follow all application instructions for chosen finish.
Local home improvement stores are likely to carry Howard's Cutting Board Oil for approximately $10. Oil can be reapplied as needed. Note that adding a finish to the blocks will visually darken the blocks & balance.
**Note: Customer is responsible for choosing a finish that is child-safe. Examples listed are suggestions only. Viggi Kids has not performed any safety testing on products mentioned.
