any abacus games?
« on: October 01, 2013, 11:10:58 am »
DS fell in love with a wooden abacus yesterday so I bought it.  But what to do with it?
He can one to one count to 100 with little help (maybe 4 or 5 corrections to get him back on track) so what else can we do with it?
Anyone have any fun games we can play??

Sorry to keep you in suspense  ;)! It was just an interesting programme on radio 4 about the abacus (I cannot actually believe I wrote that sentence  :P :-[ :D). So not quite what you were after!
