Montessori 12345 Preschool Bead Stair Stacker

Why this set is so awesome!

Preschoolers are at a special age of exploration and are beginning to learn about simple counting and problem solving while learning to manipulate the environment around them. This Montessori Style Wooden bead stacker is a great tool for preschoolers to use as they can be used for many things including counting, enhancing the fine motor skills of the pincer grasp, and learning basic math concepts.
