Melissa & DougPrimary Lacing Beads - Educational Toy With 30 Wooden Beads and 2 Laces For Toddlers, Fine Motor Skills Lacing Toys For Toddlers And Kids Ages 3+

We love Melissa and Doug products! This is great! My daughter loves making necklaces and testing her motor skills. Great value and very durable as she throws them around too. Safe for her to use and easy to clean.

This solid wood beading set is a great activity for preschoolers! It is great to help them practice fine motor skills, and you can also help them practice colors, shapes, and patterns. Great value!!

Excellent quality, great storage- so excited to have a fun and beautiful toy that will also help develop my toddler’s fine motor skills!

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 “towers” 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

Would get a 5 if it had a cover (storage needs improvement), it's like they want you to lose it. Very colorful & weighty. Good build. Safe as long as they don't hurt it @ things. Great educational value, helps fine motor skills g problem solving.

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.

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