Bo-Peep has always been good at doubling small numbers, because she has had plenty of practice counting her sheep.

Plenty of practice with the two times table as we find lots of cakes!

The tins are stacked 10 high which makes them easy to count. A good starting point for learning the ten times table.
Plenty of burgers to share between two hungry children, with ketchup included as well.
