The Original Hundred board/hundred frame
==============
Playtime is learning time! Our traditional Montessori hundred board has been modified for a bit more open-ended play so it can grow with your child. Introducing your younger child to a hundred chart will help him/her learn to count and recognize numbers and find patterns. It’s an amazing hands-on learning tool and fun too!

Ideas for playing with the wooden hundred board
1. Put objects in the board for fine motor skills development — first with fingers and then with tongs
2. Color sort with colored balls.
3. Try out some simple counting exercises
4. Practice forming/creating shapes
5. Start adding and subtracting — add balls and take balls away to practice counting
6. Move on to some multiplication and division — place balls in different rows and then count away!
7. Available in buttery white maple (light wood, engraving is much clearer) or darker red cherry (dark wood).
HOW IT’S MADE
All of our toys are made using the highest quality maple wood, non-toxic paints, and sealants that are food safe. The CPSC approval is made by third party labs and we maintain an up to date compliance certificate at all times.
WHAT IS INCLUDED
Plain board : Wooden hundred board "without" any numbers. This is what you get if you choose the option "plain wood balls" or "plain felt balls"
Engraved board: Wooden hundred board with numbers 1-100 engraved in the ball holders. This is what you get if you choose "engraved wood balls" or " engraved felt balls" Please note the balls are not engraved, the board is.
Balls: Either wooden balls or wool balls (again, Please note the balls are NOT engraved, the wooden hundred board is). The colors of the balls match the Grimm's rainbow, if you need different colors, please let me know.
**** PLEASE NOTE ****
If you are getting the engraved board, please look through all the pictures. The contrast of the numbers (so easier to read) is much better with buttery white maple than dark red cherry.
SHIPPING NOTE
Etsy sometimes overestimates or doesn't take flat rate options into account, wood is heavy and flat rate options is often cheaper. I always refund shipping overage.
