100 Golden Bead Units: Individual Beads Nylon (With Hole)

Each nylon bead unit measures approximately 7-8mm in diameter, matching the standard Montessori golden bead size for consistency with other decimal system materials.

These nylon beads are lighter, more durable, and safer for young children than glass beads. They maintain the same size and golden color but are less likely to break or chip, making them ideal for frequent classroom use.

Yes, these individual units are designed to complement existing Montessori math materials. The center hole allows for stringing to create custom bead bars or chains for counting and skip-counting activities.

These beads support teaching counting to 100, one-to-one correspondence, quantity recognition, introduction to the decimal system, place value (units), and basic addition and subtraction operations.

While the nylon material is non-toxic and more durable than glass, these beads are small parts intended for ages 3-6 under adult supervision. They should not be used with children who still mouth objects.
