Jumbo, colorful and multi-shaped
These jumbo wooden lacing beads in multiple shapes and bright colors and patterns are a bold way to learn and practice lacing, counting, sorting, and more. The 27 approximately 1.5-inch beads include cubes, cylinders, stars, and circles featuring different patterns and numbers, making them a fantastic first beading set-- fun to grasp, and hold, stack and knock down, and to arrange and rearrange. Two thick, extra-long laces are easy for little hands to thread through the large holes in the beads, offering kids three and older hours of entertainment. The beautifully crafted beads and laces store neatly in a sturdy wooden crate.
Develop skills and an artistic flair
Count on beading to encourage an artistic flair while helping kids develop important physical and cognitive skills. Lacing helps promote manual dexterity, hand-eye coordination, and fine motor skills. This wide variety of beads promote color and shape recognition, and can be used to help teach sequencing, patterning, sorting, counting, and more. Lacing activities improve concentration and promote problem solving and creative expression, too!
