This classic learning toy is made of sturdy wood. It is a wonderful tool to help teach preschoolers their basic concept of math.

There are 10 wooden beads which slide across each of the 10 metal rods of the toy. The colors are bright and the frame is thick and durable. As should be expected, there are no instructions included with the abacus.

Great for teaching the concept of 10's, adding, subtracting - in a fun way! Highly recommend.
 NOT a "classic abacus"...however it's a good "counting frame" February 3, 2006

This product is NOT a "classical" abacus; the true Chinese abacus has thirteen stacks of beads with two each in an upper section and five each in a lower section! This is a "counting frame;" which is good for children to use to learn counting by ones and tens.
SIX CHILD USED ABACUS October 1, 2005

HI, I'M A MOTHER OF SIX. FIVE OF THEM IN SCHOOL AGES THE YOUNGER IS A ONE YEAR OLD LITTLE BABY. I WANT TO TELL EVERYBODY HOW DURABLE AND STRONG THIS ABACUS IS. I BOUGHT IT SIX YEARS AGO WHEN MY FIRST GIRL (NOW IN FOURTH GRADE) NEED IT FOR THE KINDERGARDEN AND SHE USED IT ALL YEAR LONG. THEN THE NEXT YEAR MY SECOND GIRL (NOW IN THIRD GRADE) USED TOO. ALL THE OTHER MOTHERS WAS VERY INTERESTED IN THIS ABACUS BECAUSE ITS SIZE, ITS STRONG AND DURABILITY, SPECIALLY WHEN I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE HEREDITARY ABACUS. SO SAME AS THEIR OLDER SISTERS MY THIRD AND FOURTH GIRLS USED IT IN KINDERGARTEN AND NOW MY BABY BOY (A THREE YEARS OLD) IS USING IT. SO I HOPE THAT I NEVER WILL NEED TO BUY ANOTHER AND THAT MY LITTLE BABY GIRL WILL USE IT WHE SHE GOES TO KINDERGARDEN BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE NEW. I DON'T EXAGERATE WITH MY STARS I'M TRUE TO MY STORY.

The colors are bright and the frame is thick and durable. It is a nice way to add a little fun to math. Plus since it is so well made, when my 10 month old wants to play with it I don't worry about her or the toy.
