Deluxe Wooden Lacing Beads for Toddlers and Kids - Educational Activity with 27 Beads and 2 Laces

The Melissa & Doug Lacing Beads set is an ideal choice for making a bold statement! Featuring dramatic beads with a variety of shapes and bold colors, along with two extra-long laces, this set enhances the experience of stringing beads. The shapes are specifically designed for little hands to grip easily, while the thin laces ensure that the beads can slide effortlessly.

With twenty-seven hand-painted wooden beads displaying numbers one to ten as both numerals and countable dots, this lacing activity adds a fun counting element. Children can practice counting, shape recognition, hand-eye coordination, fine-motor skills, and creative expression while engaging with this set.

Parents or older children can join in on the fun by encouraging the child to sort the beads by color and helping them identify each one. This collaborative activity can be repeated until the child can independently recognize all the colors. Additionally, adults can foster early counting skills by having the child count the beads of each color with them, repeating the activity until the child has mastered counting groups of beads.

This exceptional gift is suitable for children aged three and older, offering a hands-on, screen-free play experience.
