The bright and bold Melissa & Doug Primary Lacing Beads set is a must-have for budding imaginations! It includes 30 hand-painted, durable wooden beads in six vibrant colors, and two extra-long laces for plenty of hands-on play. The set of beads features five distinct shapes all designed for little hands to grasp, and the laces are thin enough to allow the beads to slide easily. Stringing the beads provides opportunities for pretend play and learning. The activity helps to promote shape recognition, hand-eye coordination, fine-motor skills, cognitive and visual perception skills, and creative expression. The set allows adults and children to explore multiple playing activities together. Parents or grown-up kids can ask the child to sort the beads by color or shape, identify them for the child, and repeat the activity until the child can identify all the colors and shapes independently. The lacing bead set makes a great gift for preschoolers and kids ages three and older.

Great
My 2 year old loves these. Fun open needed toy that she independently plays with and enjoys. I sometimes get nervous with the string bc after she puts the beads on she tries to put it on as a necklace and the beads are heavy. The beads are big enough that she uses them to stack and build âtowersâ with. Side note, my cat also loves this toy and loves when my daughter plays with this and they have a lot of fun playing with this together lol. Good toy in our house for the price for sure

Perfect
I didn’t expect much, because I don’t like Melissa and and Doug puzzles and I’ve found a lot of their other toys to be cheaply made. I was pleasantly surprised by this bead set. The colors are vibrant. It’s pretty and durable. I got it for my almost 17 month old, who learned to string beads from the Lovevery bead toy. Even better, these beads fit the Lovevery string! I actually prefer the Melissa and Doug beads, but I like that we can use them together, since my daughter still has trouble with the shoelace string. She also immediately put the beads in her mouth, but I expected that and supervise her. Some of the pieces are smaller than I’d like, but I’ve seen worse from toys that didn’t recommend 3+. Her fingers are too large to get stuck in the holes, so that’s not a concern either. I also like that beads can be used as loose parts. Overall, it’s a great toy for the price that will grow with her.

Great Toddler Activity
The product itself is well made and great for toddlers. My only complaint is it needs a top or lid to keep those rolling beads in one place. Once you open it, youâll need something else to store them in. Why create wooden bottom of a box and not add a lid? The beads go everywhere.

Great fine motor activity
This is a fun and educational fine motor activity for kids. My children love it, itâs very cute and is worth the money. Functional as the beads slide onto the string very well.

Fantastic toys
I gave this set to my 17month old grandson for Christmas. He loves them! The are sturdy, solid wooden pieces. The paint is deeply coated (I don’t think they will ever have paint chips coming off) and the hole in the middle is just the right size. The beading strings are sturdy with long enough good plastic ends to lace the string. There are one color of each different shape. (1 blue: square, circle, oval etc….) I think these are a great way to teach children both color and shapes at the same time. As well as helping them to develop their fine motor control skills. We sat on the floor for a long time stringing bead after bead and then emptying the lace, which sounded great on my son’s hardwood floors – lolMy daughter-in-law sent me a video of my grandson going on a walk through the house dragging his string of beads behind him noisily on those hardwood floors!! Bonus use!! (I was banned from getting a popping popcorn vacuum cleaner for him to push – hahaha)I think these beads will last for generations, they are really well made.All in all it turned out to be a great gift he truly loved and grandma snuck in way for it to be educational too. (They weren’t all that too noisy! Just right!!)

This set is great! The size of beads is great for little hands and to avoid choking. My 2.5 y.o. will sit and work at this activity for 20+mins. Awesome for colour and shape identification, counting, and fine motor skill development. For beading/threading, I find it really useful to thread one of the beads to the end and feed the string through twice to secure it on (rather than fussing with a knot). A storage bag to package this in when not is use would be nice to avoid loosing pieces. Highly recommend!

Me gusta comprar materiales desestructurados que le permitan a mi hijo jugar libremente (sin un propósito especÃfico o único), asà que cuando vi estas cuentas me parecieron adecuadas para integrarlas.Si bien el fabricante sugiere para mayores de 3 años(por riesgo de asfixia) yo se lo ofrecà a mi hijo de 16 meses. Aún no está interesado en insertar las cuentas (procuro no “enseñarle” como se “deberÃa” usar) asà que por ahora los avienta, los acomoda, los coloca en sus dedos…El tamaño de las cuentas es un poco más grande de lo que esperaba, sin embargo sigue siendo pequeño para dejar un juego sin supervisión (y más a la edad de mi hijo que aún suele llevarse cosas a la boca de vez en cuando).Al grabar el vÃdeo de las piezas me percaté que habÃa algunas un poco “astilladas” o con defectos. Desconozco si venÃan asà o si son resultado de que mi hijo las avienta, pero es para tomar en cuenta que no son “irrompibles”.Los colores son sólidos y las piezas son suficientes como para dividirlas en dos estaciones. Una parte la tengo en la habitación y otra en el área de juego.Resulta conveniente la bandeja que incluyen, yo la utilicé con otro material y coloqué las cuentas en contenedores más pequeños.Considero que es un gran material que puede utilizarse de muchÃsimas formas. Por el momento es arrojar y colocar sobre diferentes superficies, pero insertar en la cuerda, clasificar por colores, tamaños, formas, apilar, hacer patrones, imitar, seguir instrucciones, y mucho más podremos hacer más adelante.Creo que con supervisión (dependiendo del niño) sirve a niños de año y medio en adelante y durarán un buen rato.

Great quality and size of bead. With the different shapes and colours adds to the numeracy and mathematical learning as well as developing fine motor and early literacy skills. Iâve bought this twice for gifts.
