Teen Bead Box: Individual Beads Nylon

The Teen Bead Box is where eleven stops being a word and becomes a quantity: a ten beside a single bead is eleven, beside two beads twelve, and the pattern holds all the way to nineteen. The child builds the number first and reads it back afterwards, ideally alongside the teen boards. From here the work carries on to the tens, where the same exchange takes the child past twenty and up to a hundred. Nylon beads keep their colour and stand up to daily handling in a group. For children from three years.
