• Sorting;
• Spatial Skills;
• Counting foundations;
• Numeral recognition; and
• Common shapes.

"Hatchables connect Hatch's award-winning software with a series of robust classroom materials kits," said Dana Love, Vice President at Hatch, in a prepared statement. "Hatchables encourage the critical thinking skills of early learners and reinforce the learning developed through use of our software. Moreover, Hatchables work effectively as stand-alone instructional kits for the essential skills in literacy and math which promote kindergarten readiness in early learners."
