Buy Hape - Rainbow Bead Abacus

Customer Ratings:

This is a nice abacus, except some of the wooden bars are crooked. This is not very obvious when they are covered with the wooden beads though. The paint is chipping off a bit too and I think the paint is starting to discolour the wood bars. Both my 3 year old and my 8 month old play with it a lot and they are quite rough with it at times. For the price, it is still pretty good. Not great though.

The product feels good, stron and solid, stands well with a good fundation. It is a good toy for kids to learn math, I am trying to teach the mutiplication concepts for my 5 1/2 yrs old, he is able to make use of it. Once the kids gets familiar to use it, you can just hand over this with a peice of paper and he/she should be able to write the mutiplication tables below 10, once they keep practicing or playing with it for math purpose they surely will be able to memorize the mutiplication tables. This can be used for additions too. I also have a 3-yr old trying to play with it some times to count and identify colors. Using such toy for a kid for math purpose will pay for it, just go for it, they can learn from it. I am giving it a 4-star feels like the paint may ware on the beads, who knows it may stay fine too.

Honest reviews on Hape - Rainbow Bead Abacus

This is a very well-made, substantial toy. I don't know how educational it will be for my niece, but at least she gets to play with the pretty colors and move the beads around. (After all, who really knows how to use an abacus besides the Chinese?) If this were to be an educational toy, someone would have to sit with the child and actively instruct, I think. At any rate, it's a very nice toy and I don't begrudge the money I spent on it.

This abacus is well made, durable, and hasn't chipped paint yet. While my kids (3 and 5) aren't really drawn to it after the first week, we still keep it in the playroom when they have math questions. This is a good intro to math and recommend all parents own one.
