My 4-year-old absolutely loves these flashcards! The illustrations are beautiful and the dual-side learning is brilliant. Quality is genuinely premium — much better than what we've seen elsewhere. Highly recommend to parents.

Product information
Wooden abacus-style frame for Indian children aged 3 to 8 years meeting the place-value system for the first time. Four horizontal rows of 10 beads each are labelled on the left from 1 up to 1,000. Children slide beads to build any number up to 9,999 (within 4-digit range), seeing place value as physical layers rather than memorising columns.
At a glance
- 4 rows x 10 beads = 40 beads, colour-cycled by place.
- Place values from 1 to 1,000: units, tens, hundreds, thousands.
- Compact wooden frame: lighter than the 7-row version, suits younger children.
- Visual place value: each row's beads show value in physical position.
- Builds addition and subtraction with carrying across 4 places.
- Made in India, multi-colour beads for clear row distinction.
- Pairs with Stamp Game and Number Cards 1 to 9000 for full place-value sequence.

Why curated by SkilloToys
We pick this frame because most Indian Class 1 to 3 math involves 2 to 4 digit numbers, and the 4-row format covers exactly that range without overwhelming a young child with the full 7-row frame. Children who start here gain place-value confidence before the school curriculum demands bigger numbers, then graduate naturally to the 7-row version when ready.
- Place Value 1 to 1,000
- Reading 4-digit Numbers
- Writing 4-digit Numbers
- Addition with Carrying
- Confidence on Big Numbers
