Beech Wood Bead Rack With Shape Base

This educational tool combines a classic 20-bead counting rack with a purpose-built shape-integrated base — both components crafted from solid European beech and multi-ply plywood for stability and longevity. The 20 wooden beads are evenly distributed across two parallel rods, facilitating comparison and partitioning exercises. The base contains four recessed geometric outlines — circle, square, triangle and rectangle — positioned to correspond with bead groupings, inviting children to physically connect numerical values with spatial forms. Designed for repeated handling in diverse learning environments — from Montessori homes to maintained nursery schools — it supports self-paced exploration grounded in UK early years developmental milestones.
