Description
Count on this classic wooden “calculator” for years of play and learning! The solid hardwood base and frame holds 10 thick coated wires with 10 colorful wooden beads on each – 100 beads in all. Slide the beads for a visual and hands-on way to learn numbers and math concepts and to explore patterns and colours. There are many ways to play as skills develop, and fun activity ideas are included with the toy as well, which will keep kids coming back to this toy over and over again. Ideal for both the classroom and the playroom, this classic toy is sometimes called a counting frame. The abacus was used as a ‘calculator’ hundreds of years before modern number systems were developed. The smooth, colourful wooden beads encourage little hands to grasp, spin, and slide them, promoting fine motor skill development.
