Junior Abacus is a Counting & Stacking Toy that not just teaches children counting from 1 to 10, but also helps them learn how to write these numbers as they can trace the digits while they play. This self-correcting puzzle also helps children learn number sequencing as 1 will only connect with 2, 2 with 3, and so on. It is a great play pattern to enhance the fine motor skills and problem solving skills of children while teaching them about shapes and colors as well. It also encourages children to speak while playing thus developing their Speech and Language skills. It uses 10 mm and 8 mm thick pieces of soft, sturdy and safe foam material that complies with European safety standards.
