    Product review of Abacus

    Both of my boys ages 4 and 3 love this toy. It is well made and can withstand being knocked around. I have found my older child teaching his younger brother how to do addition and subtraction on the abacus.

    I bought this for my Nephew's 3rd birthday. When he opened it yesterday, he said "beads!". I said "No, this is an Abacus, you use it to count. Do you know how to count?" Then he said "Abacus!" and started counting the beads all randomly, but counting non the less. He loves his Abacus. I am glad I bought it, it's a traditional piece that will never outgrow anyone. Thank you!

    This abacus is exactly what I had hoped it would be. It is very sturdy, and my son is enjoying learning to count on it.

    This is a great product. I bought two for my 18 month old boy and girl twins who can count to ten and count backwards. I didn't realize the weight of the product. They keep dropping the toys and thank goodness the toys have only fallen on my feet. The edges at the base are too pointy for them. If you plan on buying this for younger children I suggest you sit them on your lap and help hold the toy while they play with it. I love this simple and engaging toy. Very well made. I thought it would have broken from the amount of times it has fallen.
