Tracking Beads-TRACKING BEADS Tracking Beads are beads that you can count on! Set a goal and track your progress, one small step at a time! A double strand of cord creates a "track". Each of the ten small beads stays in place until you choose to move it - then it slides easily and smoothly along the track. As you slide the beads, one by one, you'll have a concrete measure of just how many "small steps" you've achieved.
