Izzy 3:7 Exploring with the Golden Beads

Izzy's big sister has been using the Golden Bead Material and Izzy has been watching with itchy fingers.
I feel if she is able to reach it, she should be able to use it!!
So I let her explore the materials and encouraged her to count them back into their boxes, giving her trust and independence. Also letting her use hand eye coordination and reinforcing her maths skills of counting, space and area.
