Kids can count on this wooden "calculator" for years of play and learning! The Melissa & Doug Abacus is beautifully crafted with a solid hardwood base, and 100 brightly colored wooden beads. The sturdy frame holds 10 thick-coated wires with 10 colorful wooden beads on each -- 100 beads in all. Younger kids can slide the beads back and forth to explore different patterns and colors, while practicing their fine motor skills. Older children can enjoy using the abacus as a visual and hands-on way to learn addition and subtraction and other early math concepts. The beads are sized for little hands, and glide easily across the smooth wires. The counting toy comes with eight extension activities to add to your child's learning experience. With no loose pieces and no mess, it's a great toy to pack in a bag for on-the-go play. The abacus makes a great gift for kids ages three and older for hands-on, screen-free play.

Helps to my little one to get better in math.Is made with a great quality and the wood is nicely painted and smooth, no rough corners at all!Vivid colors.I am amazed that this is not part of the school supply list! It was mandatory in my country when I was a kid and you could use calculator until 7th grade (I do not know now).Recommended!

My mom wanted this for my little niece and nephew (3 & 4 years old). I would do math with my nephew using my fingers or his during my visits and he picked up on it quickly.The colors help with general counting to 100, learning how to add and subtract as well. Simple and great toy for the curious mind.

I absolutely love the Melissa & Doug Abacus! It’s such a simple yet effective way to help kids learn counting and math basics. The bright, colorful beads are really eye-catching, and my little one enjoys sliding them back and forth while practicing numbers. The wooden design feels sturdy and durable, so I know it’ll last for years.

I love teaching math on this. It is great for helping kids understand and remember carrying and borrowing in math. They can see how it works rather that just think about it.

Believe it or not, we bought this as a toy for our parrots! They were hesitant at first, but they do love to play with the colorful beads and slide them around. I doubt we will have them solving calculus anytime soon, but only time will tell! The abacus is well made and pretty stable, it can tip over if the enough force it put on the top rows but its not heavy enough to be a concern.

Both of my young great grandchildren (3&5yrs old) have fun with the abacus. I didn't realize that they needed to know so much when entering kindergarten. This is a great visual to hello learning his numbers (counting by 5 & 10's)

Exactement comme sur la photo, ma fille de 11 ans étant dyscalculique et dyspraxique visuo spatial, elle avait besoin de mieux comprendre les maths en manipulant et le boulier est idéal mais ayant donc des soucis visuo spatiaux et vu que ce sont des tiges avec des boules j'ai fait exprès de prendre celui si sur lequel chaque ligne a une couleur différente de boules et qu'en plus la tige porte la couleur de sa rangée de boules de manière à ce qu'elle ne se mélange pas avec la ligne du dessus et du dessous. Ensuite je lui ai appris à décomposer les nombres en mettant les unités en bas pour qu'elle comprenne la progression avec les dizaines la ligne au dessus car les dizaines sont plus grandes (donc au dessus) que les unités, et les centaines encore au-dessous et ainsi de suite. En 10 mn elle a compris et on a pu avancer, j'ai reprise les bases sur le boulier avec elle, pour pouvoir par la suite lui expliquer comment ont peut y décomposer des décimaux et qu'elle comprenne mieux aussi les fractions etc... Bref, c'est un objet simple, pas cher, solide, coloré donc attractif, elle adore et pourtant elle a 11 ans, pour elle c'est un jeux et je regrette énormément, de ne pas y avoir pensé plus tôt et de ne pas l'avoir acheter pour l'initier dès toute petite. Le boulier reste une valeur sûre que je n'ai jamais utiliser avant, que je ne connaissais que de nom et j'ai tenté pour ma fille pour qui la scolarité est compliquée et c'est pour ça que j'ai choisit ce boulier minutieusement par rapport aux couleurs à la taille ect... sincèrement, c'est même une super idée cadeau.

Esté ábaco es excelente para bebés y niños pequeños. Es de excelente material (maderada) y está muy bien hecho pero fÃjense en el tamaño ya que es grande lo cual es perfecto para enseñarle a niños pequeños a contar.
