It is in my book. Should be one in the archives. Purty sure I
posted one at some time or another.

Can you still count to twenty? LMAO

Use your brain - it's the small things that count.
Yep !
Plus, all my teeth are real, I have enough hair to be a 'donor' every 6
weeks or so . . . and the beard is so I 'don't scare the horses'.

Do you really need plans? The link gives the dimensions. Just use heavy wire
like a coathanger and purchase the beads at a craft store. You have everything
you need.

Shoulda said before. I didn't see any price on that thingy, but I
bet it's pricey.
I really can't see a kid being interested in something like that
for long. Don't know about plans, but figure something like that
shouldn't be too hard to make. Holes drilled in a piece of thick
plywood, then plastic-coated coat hangers, or coated wire, bent into
shapes, with a batch of beads. Maybe just bend a hook on the bottom
ends, then glue another piece of ply to hold them in place.
Personally, I think an abacus would wind up getting more use.
Probably help learning counting, too. I think I'd prefer 5 beads of one
color, and 5 of another, on each string (or rod, wire, whatever). Ten
strings might be nice.
