Skoolzy JUMBO Primary Lacing Beads for Kids Toddler Toy - Autism Fine Motor Skills Montessori Toys - 36 Beads, 4 Strings - Includes Travel Bag and Preschool Activities eBook Set Review

I love the beads - they're plastic, not wood, in case you're wondering. The only problem is that the tip at the end of the string isn't very long, and certainly not long enough for a small child to successfully insert it into the bead and pull it out the other side. My solution as a former preschool teacher was to simply wrap cellophane tape around the end of the lace and down to keep the lace strong and long. Works great. Also tie one of the beads to one end to keep it from slipping off.

Great bead set! They are made of plastic and easy to clean. I liked their size - there would be no choking hazard. Good to have 4 strings and a bag to put everything! My 28 month old baby sat and played with them for much longer than I had hoped! At first she was excited to talk about colors and shapes. Then I showed her how to string beads, which was a bit difficult for her, but she had a lot of fun practicing! Then she became interested in building a pearl tower. I was excited that she…

I was expecting the beads to be bigger. My 19 month old daughter is interested in colors and shapes but gets frustrated when she tries to thread beads herself. She has a very strong will, so she always wants to do things her own way. I chose plastic beads because I read that wooden beads don't polish well on the inside. I love that the beads come with a carrying case. The beads look different from the product photos. I was expecting maroon or brown pearls but I'm glad it's not. The colors of…

I am an Occupational Therapist and I work with children up to 3 years old. I bought this to develop various skills during class including the following: two-way hand coordination, fine motor skills, agility, hand manipulation, and hand-eye coordination. I couldn't be happier with this bead set. It helps me develop the above skills and I also like that the beads are NOT as heavy as the wooden beads. Toddlers tend to throw toys (mainly because they're learning about cause and effect). If they…

Good bead toys for kids. Good size mostly smooth plastic molds; You don't have to worry about them choking (although the oval and round pieces should be larger). The colors of the pieces are random; would have preferred a more descriptive color coding e.g. B. all triangles are red, squares are yellow, etc. Other negative points I can point out: 1/ plastic bushings on string ends were not fully screwed in; had to hold them over a hot stove/heat to finish twisting the plastic ends so they were…

I bought this toy for my 3 year old autistic child. These blocks are a lot bigger than the sets I've bought in the past, making them a lot safer as he still likes to put things in his mouth. Although he doesn't fully understand the concept of lacing, this set seems to be of very high quality and he likes to stack the blocks in a fairly flat shape. The multicolored threads resemble shoelaces, with aguillettes at both ends to make threading the thread easier. They are strong enough to tie and…

This is one of those toys whose quality is equal or better than similar well-known brands. Preschool age but my 16 year old loves beading at his friend's house who has a lovevery subscription with a wooden bead toy. A top that keeps it straight and comfortable for little fingers and makes it easy to thread the bead yourself. However, I don't mind holding the rope and helping my son. This set has a bag to store everything, some rope, and more than enough beads for his friends to join him. They…

This is a great toy and fun learning experience. I was looking for beading beads and chose them because the description said the holes were bigger. And they help the baby learn to thread the shoelaces through the holes. The beads are made of hard plastic, which makes them easy to tie. clean. They're also slim and perfectly sized for little hands to pick up, hold and manipulate. This string bead set also has advantages over other sets: its bright colors and variety of bead shapes. Not only can…

I was looking for something to entertain my almost 2 year old daughter that she could do with my 8 year old too. At the same time, I was looking for something that we could use in the classroom for our toddler class at our children's church that would be safe, fun, and helpful. When I stumbled across these beads I thought they were just what I was looking for. My 2 year old daughter loves making things work or putting things together and thought she would have fun figuring out how to tie them…
