 Great Math Helper!Jun 27, 2008
I bought this abacus as a play-toy for my daughter to use while her older brother is doing is school work. He wound up using it as much as she did. An abacus is a great way to help visual and hands-on learners with basic operations, fractions, and more. This one is sturdily constructed, which means it stands up to use after class time, as well. A good learning toy for a wide variety of ages.
Great Toy, great serviceJun 20, 2008
The Melissa & Doug Classic Wooden Abacus is a really great educational toy. It is put together quite well --
a quality product. My 5-year old loves it and it's helping her with her math. Everything with this order when very smoothly. Thanks.
great for teaching preschooler addition, multiplicationMay 30, 2008
It's not a Chinese Abacus, obviously, but it's a great learning toy for pre-schoolers to learn / practice addition and subtraction (single and doulbe digit) and multiplication (up to 10 x 10). My 4 and 5 yr old use it, in conjuction to the Montessori counting beads, and the math they can do is remarkable. Ciphering rocks! The only question I have is what kind of paint and finish is used on the wood (in the context of so many toys that have lead in their paint).
Fun and educational...Mar 24, 2008
Even before I got all the plastic wrapping off, my little 2 yr. old girl was moving the beads across while counting them...The construction seems satisfactory, but I'm not holding my breath that this one will stand the test of time...Anyhow, it's quite cheap, so I think it's worth it...We've already enjoyed some seriously fun counting and math time with the kids...If you coordinate this with a chalkboard or magnetic numbers(with math signs), your going to be able to give your child a huge head start on math because they'll be able to visualize the concepts...All in all, it's a quality device at a reasonable price to give your kids a boost, even if it's not a true abacus.
 Not for little kidsDec 28, 2007
Our kids were 4 and under. The abacus fell apart, exposing 10 pointy metal sticks and dropping wooden balls all over the floor. Choking hazard. Toy did not work out for us. Maybe for older kids.
