How Children Use It

A child picks up one spindle and places it in the compartment marked 1, then two spindles in compartment 2 — the hands count, the eyes check. The empty zero compartment makes sense: nothing is also a number. Beech warms in the hands; the soft click as spindles land becomes the rhythm of concentration.
