Fun Learning

I bought this to incorporate into homeschooling centers for my 4 year old. She loves playing with this as does my 18 month old. Highly recommend. Large and easy to grab. Great for learning patterns, threading, but also easy to incorporate in other homeschool learning lessons using the beads for their shapes and colors.

Fine motor practice

This is really good to use for fine motor practice. It also works on patterning, too!

Great product

Beads are extra large but are suitable for little hands. I love the pattern cards. Can't wait to implement into my lesson plan.

A favorite

Easy to use. I usually tie one bead to the end of each string so the beads don't fall of when students are stringing them. These will last forever!

Good for manipulative skills.

The product is made well. It is great for small muscle development, but also learning colors and shapes. The pattern cards keep it interesting longer. My 4 year old Grandson did not enjoy it for very long. Not sure what the appropriate age is for it.

Love it!

My daughter loves to play with these beads. They are big enough that's it makes it easy for a 3 year old to lace the beads herself. I also like the variety of pattern cards so that she's not doing the same thing every time we play with them.

These lacing beads are a great fine-motor activity. Although I haven't used the pattern cards yet, I think they are a great addition and will save me a lot of time from making my own. The beads are very heavy-duty, easy to clean and brightly colored.

Indestructible Giant Beads & Patterns

These beads are a nice size for little hands to hold onto. They love to sit and lace them on the laces. They are also very durable and can take lots of hands using them.
