The Numbered Spindle Box with Spindles is a long wooden tray with ten compartments numbered 0 through 9 and comes with 45 individual wooden spindles.  This material is used for associating quantity with the written numbers 0 through 9 whereby the wooden spindles (or any other objects) are placed in the bins corresponding to their quantity.  The large, black numbers are silk-screened directly onto the tray's back panel, and the entire tray is finished in a protective, silk-touch clear coat.  The Spindle Box measures approximately 50 cm x 20 cm x 7 cm and weighs a little over 1 kg empty, making it easy for students to carry in the classroom.  Also available without the spindles as Numbered Spindle Box.
