Grimm's Colourful Bead Stair
Learn to count to ten and beyond with this set of ten strong cotton strings with 55 beads to thread onto on them: thread one bead onto one string, two beads onto the next, three beads onto the next and so on. This wooden bead toy is a great way for children to learn how to count and do simple sums as physically rolling the beads between a finger and thumb can really help with consolidating learning. The beads are a great size for children and this is a fantastic maths toy for both the classroom and learning at home.
Ethically made from sustainable maple and stained with non-toxic water based color in a rainbow of colours, this educational toy is bright and appealing to the senses. Children will love the warm, tactile beads and the wood grain shows through the colour stain.
Steiner educators will love this multi-purpose educational toy as it can be used for natural play in a myriad of ways - use the beads with a longer string to make a necklace; create patterns when doing threading games, learn to count and do simple sums, learn colours or use the beads as ingredients in a play kitchen. Combine with other maths and counting toys from Grimm's for further fun learning opportunities.
Bead diameter: 2cm.
This set is suitable from 3 years+.
Sensory play: tripod grip, fine motor skills

Grimm’s educational wooden toys are made in Europe from alder, lime, beech and maple, all sourced from sustainably managed European forests. They are made in handpicked workshops across Europe and coated with natural colours and oils by the Grimm’s team in Germany. All of the paints and lacquer used to finish your lovingly made Grimm’s toy are harmless and enhance the natural beauty of the wood, allowing the grain to shine through.
Grimm’s Toys are inspired by the Waldorf Steiner education movement which advocates learning through thoughtful, creative play at an unhurried pace. Toys play an important part of the learning experience and Waldorf toys are made with natural materials, beautiful and simplistic – the lack of details allow children to fill in the blanks with their imaginations. They can be used in multiple ways in creative play scenarios, rather than being prescriptive. Waldorf-inspired toys are wonderfully tactile and call on children to play with them.
