Handcrafted Maple Montessori Hundred Board

Some of the best learning happens through touch.

This Montessori-style hundred board is handcrafted in our Burlington, Ontario workshop from carefully selected maple — a dense, fine-grained hardwood that's smooth to the touch and built to last through years of little hands. Children arrange the numbered tiles in order from 1 to 100, building number sense, counting skills, and an intuitive feel for how numbers relate to each other.

It's the kind of toy that earns a permanent spot on the shelf — used daily for a few years, then kept long after it's outgrown.

Frequently asked questions:

What age is this for? Suitable for ages 3 and up. Younger children typically start by placing tiles 1–10 and work up to the full board as their number sense develops. The large maple tiles are easy for small hands to handle.

Is the finish safe for children? Yes. The board and all tiles are finished with food-safe mineral oil — no varnish, no chemical stains, no synthetic coatings of any kind. The maple itself is non-toxic and smooth-sanded to remove any rough edges.

Does it work for homeschool and Waldorf curricula? Yes. The hundred board is a core Montessori and Waldorf math material used to teach counting, sequencing, skip counting, and early arithmetic. It translates directly into both home and classroom settings.

How is this different from a mass-produced version? Most hundred boards are made from low-grade wood with painted or stickered numbers. This one is handcrafted in Burlington, Ontario from solid maple with a natural finish — meaning the tiles feel substantial, the numbers are part of the wood rather than applied on top, and the board is built to be used hard and passed down.

Is this a good gift? Yes — it's one of the most thoughtful gifts you can give a child between 3 and 6. It looks beautiful, it's genuinely educational, and it lasts. We can include a personalised note — just mention it at checkout.
