Description
This sturdy learning toy reminds me of the bead maze my kids had many years ago. The rainbow-colored plastic beads teach simple addition and subtraction as you slide them up and over a wood barrier. The barrier is made of 2 removable panels: one side shows colored ovals that match the beads, while the other side shows math problems (add/subtract 0-10). You can play with the beads and slide them over the colored metal arches too! They make a fun sound that kids like. Place the barriers back and practice your math! The overall shape is triangular as you start with one problem and one purple bead, then 2 problems and 2 lilac beads, until you have 10 problems and 10 red beads. 12.5" long x3.25" wide x6" high.
