The colourful wooden beads from Melissa & Doug offer children aged three and over a creative activity. The set contains 30 sturdy wooden beads in five different geometric shapes and bright rainbow colours, as well as two long laces for stringing. The pieces are supplied in a practical wooden box that ensures neat storage. When stringing the beads, children playfully train their fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination and visual perception. The laces have reinforced ends to make it easier to thread them through the generous openings in the beads. A versatile educational toy for sorting, counting and stringing.
