Fantastic little toy to introduce basic math concepts
Bought this for the four year old to practice her basic math skills... her older brothers were familiar with it, so they've been helping her use it to practice addition and subtraction. Now, even the two year old wants to play with it. Seems very sturdy. The kiddos really like the colors, too. And, the center wooden pieces can be reoriented so that they are numbered or blank, to fit your kiddo's skill level. Great little math implement!

Wonderful item
I love this brand of toys, they make very durable, good quality items.Coupled with the numerical awareness that this item is ment to provide, the different stacks of color also allow your little ones to quickly develop the ability to identify different colors.Everything about this item is beautiful and well made... definitely worth the price.

Faultless for my 2 yr worn who loves counting!
I got this for my 2 year old, knowing it was more advanced and something he'd grow into. He loves his giant bead maze, so I figured this would be a great way to introduce counting. I looked at the toys that have removable beads for counting, but I just KNOW he'll lose those!! The regular straight abacuses look more simple, but I figured this would help with adding and subtracting someday! He loves counting the beads as he pushes them around the arch. Also great for teaching colors and working on numbers/colors vocabulary.As with all other Melissa & Doug toys, this is built really well and is a nice compact size. Very space saving compared to other abacuses.Highly recommend this for all ages! Hope this helps. 😉
