Setting the Scene: The Enchanted Forest

Imagine we are all explorers in an enchanted forest. In this forest, we will meet many magical creatures, each with their own special numbers. But, oh no! The numbers are all mixed up, and it's our job to help them find their true homes through multiplication!
