20 Arithmetic Bead String by Wissner

20 Arithmetic Bead String by Wissner  features 20 red and white beads divided into groups of 5. The bead string is a fun way to teach children how to count. The pack of 10 arithmetic bead strings are perfect for educators.

The string is approx. 45cm and is tearproof, stretchable string.  When pulling the string, the slight ball lock lifted and all beads slide back together again. Each plastic bead has a diameter of 1cm and therefore the bead string can be used as a tool to measure. Age 3 – 10 years

The string is black not white as shown in the photo.
