One of my grandson's favorite new toys. He's a little young to lace the beads but we strung them for him and he enjoys pulling them like a pull toy and examining the different shapes and colors. Exceptionally well made product!

I purchased the primary lacing beads for my 2 year old son to help work on hand/eye coordination and his fine motor skills. Asvsoon as I sat down on the floor with him he was curious about the beads. I first had him take the beads off the string and then we worked on having him place them on the string. Within the first day or so he had it mastered and loves to play with this. Honestly for a very active 2 year old, this will hold his attention for 20 minutes or more and we play with it often.

I noticed that my 21 month old son was getting bored and needed some more directed play...I ordered these beads and we sat down at the tabel to use them. He LOVED them! We sat for 35 minutes the first time we used them. He laced, sorted and built with the beads! What a great product!

The primary lacing beads are a wonderful addition to my child care business. All of my children, from the one year old to the five year old can enjoy these colorful beads. They are large enough that there is no danger of being swallowed. They can be used in various ways from stringing, to patterning, to color recognition. A very versatile toy.

Sturdy Beads, Hard To Use
Posted 3/4/2009 by Diana from New York

Rating:

Setting: Home

This set comes with a variety of sturdy wooden beads and laces. My two year old immediately started to string them. The set has issues with design. First, the inside of the beads are rough and unfinished. This snags the laces. Second, there is no tie or washer at the end of the laces. The beads just slip off as she picks up the lace to string more. Plus, despite decent spatial ability on my part, I cannot get them all back in the box in neat order.

The various bead sizes are good. The strings included are good, but the plastic ends could be longer for ease of use with smaller fingers.

My daughter loves these beads. She spends lots of time stringing and re-stringing the beads to make necklaces. She also spends time sorting them by color and shape.

My rating of Primary Lacing Beads

I bought these beads for work. I'm a parent educator, and lacing beads are one of the items we use to make sure children's fine motor skills are developing as they should. But, on a personal note, my 2 and 4 year old boys enjoys stringing them to make necklaces. We also use them for patterning practice with my older son.

We bought this set for our 2 year old daughter. When it came, I showed her how to put the laces through the beads and explained that she needed to put beads away as she was finishing with them. Now she will spend 15-20 minutes sitting by herself pulling the string all the way through, stacking 2 beads and trying to get the string through, rearranging the beads. This is the polar opposite of all of the brainless plastic push-button toys meant to passively entertain young children. This toy is simple, timeless, and genius. The laces and holes are the right size to be challenging without being too frustrating.

This product is great. My daughter loves making necklaces with these beads. My six year old son enjoys playing with the beads with my daughter. She learns shapes, colors, and enhances her fine motor skills while having fun. These keep her busy and occupy her time.

Product is high quality. For some reason she hasn't spent as much time playing it as I thought she would. I think this will change with time.

I purchased this product for my 22 month grandson. Although he is under the targeted age for this toy I feel it is a great manipulative to help develop his fine motor skills.

I bought this for my two year old daughter. She loves to string the beads. The strings are long enough and thick enough so that she is not frustrated. She also loves to just carry the beads and dump them from containter to container. Very simple but good fun.

Our daughter is almost 18 months old and seems to really enjoy the beads. Right now she's entertained by dumping the box out and making as much noise as she can. But she grasps the lacing technique and I think she'll continue to enjoy this activity. The only improvement I'd make is to increase the length of the plastic end so it's easier for little ones to thread. Currently, the end is about as long as the beads are wide.

I am using this with my daughter on the recommendation of her Occupational Therapist. So far, she likes stringing the beads and rattling them around (she is only 2). For her age, it would be better if there were a longer stiffer end to the laces. However, the toy is made for 3 year olds.
