Grimm’s Colourful Bead Stair | Counting by Colour

The Grimm’s Colourful Bead Stair is a beautiful wooden maths toy that helps children explore number through colour. This set includes 55 wooden beads to thread onto strings of different lengths, with each colour representing a number from 1 to 10. There is one teal bead, two green beads, and so on up to ten navy blue beads, following the distinctive Grimm’s World of Numbers colour system. This makes counting and quantity much easier to understand.

Threading the beads gives children a tangible way to count to ten and beyond, compare quantities, and begin working out simple sums. Rolling the beads between finger and thumb can also help reinforce learning, making this a lovely hands-on resource for children who learn best by seeing and touching.

This set is part of Grimm’s World of Numbers, a connected range where each number from 1 to 10 keeps the same colour across compatible toys. That means the Colourful Bead Stair combines beautifully with other Grimm’s Counting by Colour toys, helping children build a wider hands-on maths resource world where the same colours always represent the same values.

Made from sustainable maple wood and finished with non-toxic water-based colour stain, the beads have the warm, tactile feel that makes Grimm’s toys so appealing. The natural grain of the wood remains visible through the colour, giving each bead its own character.
