Review: So much fun and learning in one toy😍 - I ordered this educational toy for my daughter who just started forat grade and she absolutely loves it! It’s not only fun but also a great way to help her learn counting, addition and subtraction in a hands-on way. The size is perfect, not too big, easy to hold and fits nicely on her desk. The colors are bright and cheerful which makes learning even more exciting. I was really impressed with the stability and safety - it’s made of solid wood , stands firmly. It feels very well made and durable. Overall I’m happy with this purchase, it’s cute, educational and high-quality - everything we were looking for. Highly recommend to all parents with little learners💕 Review: Great Melissa and Doug Quality - So lucky to have found this abacus on sale! I already had a so-so abacus in my cart, when I suddenly noticed that this Melissa & Doug Abacus was 36% off. As a teacher, I know that Melissa & Doug products are top notch, and because of that sometimes a little expensive. I was not disappointed. This wooden abacus is so well made and sturdy. It's even pretty to look at. Our 3 year old was so excited when she saw it. We have been practicing counting the first couple of rows for now and I can see how it will be useful as she gets older and increases her counting and number manipulation abilities. I also love how this abacus helps her develop her fine motor skills as she slides each wooden bead effortlessly to the opposite side. When she is not counting she likes to pretend it is a harp.

I know it's going to be a great addition to my son's educational aid. Very easy to use, sturdy and it looks very colorful and eye catching. The weight is enough to know it's built well but not that heavy where he'll have an issue moving around with it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Melissa & Doug Abacus - Classic Wooden Educational Counting Toy With 100 Beads - Scholastic Flash Cards: Sight Words - Learning Resources MathLink Cubes - Set of 100 Cubes, Ages 5+ Kindergarten, STEM Activities, Math Manipulatives, Homeschool Supplies, Teacher Supplies --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/261959-melissa-and-doug-abacus-classic-wooden-toy-with-100-beads](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/261959-melissa-and-doug-abacus-classic-wooden-toy-with-100-beads) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-07-11*
