When I read that these were plastic, I was a bit concerned because I imagined a plastic rod that was made of two pieces put together and hollow inside--thought it would be flimsy. When the set arrived, however, I was very happy to find that they are solid plastic. My daughter is thrilled. She doesn't even seem to realize that she's learning math concepts, she just thinks she's playing!
