Hi, Peter. I’m so sorry! It has been SO long since I made this material. I wasn’t really using a specific brand. I just used the cheapest I could find at the time. We still use our Montessori beads weekly for math! Honestly, though, I use these ones a LOT more than the colored bead stair: https://researchparent.com/montessori-golden-beads/ If you wanted to make these instead, you would just need one color and any color would work!

Now that we’re teaching our 3 sons at home, we’d been trying to determine if it was better to make them or just fork down and buy them? We’re so relieved that we can make them and save the money for materials we can’t make easily. I am so grateful for your time documenting what you did! You saved us so much time and research figuring out how to do it ourselves. I guess I was just curious if the beads you purchased were a specific brand? It seems a lot of the big bags of beads have a lot more colors than 10; preferring to stick to the classic ten colors, I wasn’t sure if you found a specific brand that sold that particular number without waste? If you remember, by any chance or have any recollection of how many colors you found at a time? It seems you’d end up with a lot of leftovers to keep the colors congruent. Thank you so much!!!!
