Instead of buying the number rods, I decided to buy the wood at the lumberyard and make my own. The whole process took a few days, and I spent almost the same amount of money I would have spent if I had bought them from an online store. Nevertheless, I enjoyed making them, and I am pleased with the results.
Below are all the steps it took me to make the rods.
Here is the finished product…
The number rods is just a wonderful material. It is used to teach counting, addition, and number/quantity association. Dani really likes working with them.
I love these. What a great tool : )
Yes, Dani likes it a lot!
