Addition Snake Game

Addition Snake Game

The Montessori Addition Snake Game is a hands-on math material designed to introduce children aged 5 and up to the concepts of addition, number bonds, and the formation of tens. This set includes three distinct wooden boxes:

• Box 1: 5 sets of colored bead bars (1 to 9)
• Box 2: 20 golden bead bars (each representing ten)
• Box 3: 1 set of black and white bead bars (1 to 9)

Each bead bar is color-coded according to Montessori standards, making the learning process visually engaging and developmentally appropriate.

Design and Material

The bead bars are carefully handcrafted using high-quality brass wire and finished with child-safe paints following Montessori’s universal color coding. The storage boxes are made from durable beech wood, with finger-joint corners for extra strength and longevity. The wood is finely polished to bring out its natural grain and ensure smooth handling for small hands. All materials are non-toxic, eco-friendly, and designed for regular use in classroom and homeschool settings.
