Hi! You can use any size beads. The idea would still be the same. I just measured mine and they appear to be a little under 1 cm in diameter. My guess is they are 8 mm beads. I hope that helps!

I hope it works out for you, Jacinta! I’m not sure if any other human being has ACTUALLY ever done this, which I understand, because it was so time-consuming, but I made these beads several years ago and we STILL use them all the time. My son is in second grade now and just a couple days ago I had him go back to using the beads to subtract 2 digit numbers. It makes it so much easier for kids to understand conceptually what math means when they can see it! I’m planning to save them for my grandkids. ;)

I just purchased beads to make my own bead materials and am very interested in doing it the way you outlined. It seems easier than using the plastic canvas and I like your point about it being more usable conceptually.

I’m glad. Cost was an important factor for me too. Some of the other ones I saw online were a lot more attractive, but for that much money, I wasn’t really saving anything by making them myself.

Other bloggers are giving links of very expensive beads that costs more than buying original Montessori beads. I was worried before because of the cost but now you made it easy. I just bought my beads. Thank you so much.

I hope it works out for you. It’s definitely not hard, just a bit time-consuming. Great activity for watching movies in my opinion. :)
