Kids Abacus 2

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This virtual abacus will help young children learn rudimentary counting skills. Tykes will like Kids Abacus s pleasing, colorful interface, which lets them learn numbers one to 100 using balls, bunnies, butterflies, boxes, and cakes. Kids simply drag objects from the main abacus to a small circle to find out how many items they ve counted and how many remain. The voice that counts along with each action makes learning easier, but we d still like an option for turning it off. Though the program is clearly only intended for kids in the preschool age bracket, it is totally free and perfectly functional at what it does.
