ABSTRACT
Studying the concept of number is part of the learning procedure of counting. Learning to
count is one lesson that had to be given to early childhood. However, learning to count in early
childhood. Ability to know the concept of numbers can be done in various ways packaged in an
interesting and innovative, so as to foster interest in learning and teaching children to know the
concept can be conveyed to the maximum number. One way meninggkatkan child's ability in the
concept of number is a manipulative play, manipulative play is a play that involves hand eye
coordination and motor skills. Children need the opportunity to work on a delicate skill that
involves little more control and direction. Playing the manipulative develop a sense of
coordination, challenging their little finger to follow the line or use their tools properly. To
increase interest in learning mathematics to children in kindergartens. This study was performed
