PlanToys Fun Abacus
Plan Toy Abacus honors the longevity of this time-honored tool of mathematics, the abacus. Still widely used in many Asian societies today, this tried and true method of calculation has been beautifully represented here. Children can learn the simplest methods of counting with the colorful beads. From counting a child can advance to addition and subtraction. This combination toy and learning tool is good for children 3-12 years, and its functions grow with your child's math proficiency. Watch out - your child may be faster on the abacus than you are on the calculator. The natural wood looks warm and the colored rows of ten beads are attractively set upon a sturdy, two-block platform. There is also a chord handle for easily transporting or even wall mounting. Counting has never been made easier than with an abacus. Crafted with recycled rubber wood and colored dyes, this abacus is a step ahead of many others.
