Wooden Abacus for Kids Math - 50 Beads Counting Toy, Multi-Color Counters for Kids 3-5, Counting Toys for Preschool Learning & Development, Develops Coordination, Motor Skills

I have been using a pen and post-it to make hash marks for each type of item I'm putting in the washing machine that should NOT go in the dryer. I do this for each load that has any non dryer items. This is because I would forget all the items then mistakenly run them through the dryer and ruin them. Every load required cross outs and re-tallies. Then I would run out of space on one post-it and start again with writing categories PANTS: ||| TOPS: || etc. I bought this abacus to keep track without writing stuff down and crossing out. I labeled the rows with types of clothing. For each pair of pants that I want to pull from the dryer I move one blue bead to the side. For each top I move a red bead to the side. Then when I'm moving most of the load to the dryer I can make sure I have all the non-dryer items pulled out for hanging up. It's really tidy, easier than writing, reusable. I made the labels with a labeler that plugs into the computer that allows pics to be pasted in. Then do an image search for "free black white outline icon +shirt" or "...+pants". Then make labels (see pics). Also since the beads slide around easily if bumped, I bought these extra wide miniature clothespins. They're 1/2" wide and 1.75" long - don't get the skinny ones because they flip 90 degrees when you try to open them . My dad (the industrial engineer) would be proud. We plan to build a nice laundry / utility room soon. This is getting shelf space for sure.

I am pleases with what I odered.

Ordered 2 and both arrived broken. The wooden beads are very small and made of poor quality wood resulting in beads that break easily.

This product is very good and practical; my son loved it. It's great because they can learn to count to 100 and it's also very fun. I highly recommend it.

This is quite small so if you are expecting a bigger one then order the large sized one. Overall, it is sturdy.

Abacus is nice but the prices aren’t glued in. The bar came off the other side & the beads started to fall off.

Great
