Beads are printed on one side to enable the teacher to hide a number for the child to identify. They are perfect for reinforcing the new UK early learning goals for counting 0-100, and developing fine motor skills, maths and sorting and counting. The beads are colour coded sequentially, e. g. every 5th bead is blue (20, 25, 30 etc), every 6th bead is orange (21, 26, 31, etc). Contents: 101 Beads 25mm square and 10 x 600mm Laces.
