- Counting sticks and rainbow maths rods in sets of 100 for grouping in tens.
- Number rods and large calculation rods that show at a glance that seven is longer than three.
- Counting games: a counting and maths matching game, a counting hands number puzzle and a counting board with spinning gears.
Choose an abacus toy for daily counting practice, then add rods or games as your child grows in confidence.
