DIY: abacus

T and I have been wanting to purchase an abacus for a while now. It's something we both would love to learn how to use and it's something that would be fun for Baby G to play with and eventually use to learn math.

We've spotted one at IKEA and seen others in catalogs, but when I saw this over-sized DIY abacus featured on Ohdeedoh, I instantly flagged it as a project to make in the near future.

Isn't it perfect? and big? and I love how it looks above the crib. It's a great piece of art to compliment any room.

I really can't wait to make one myself!
