Strings and Gems Set

While our 18-month old granddaughter is not stringing the beads yet, she enjoys playing with the blocks. Good was to teach colors. I expect she will eventually enjoy stringing the beads. Finish on blocks is quality. I would like to have a lid on the block box b/c we travel with the blocks. However, a gallon-sized freezer bag was a good work around.

One year later we have replaced the laces with some heavy duty boot laces, as the plastic ends on the ones that came with this have come off making it hard to thread. Also, my son still loves playing with them a year later. He is now 3. The replacement laces only cost a few dollars at our local grocery store. My son got these for Christmas

Just as expected from this. Great quality product. Purchased them for our 17month old daughter to work on her fine motor and sequencing. Great beginner set and something she will continue to use for years to come. Multiple uses: beading, colors, counting, shapes, sorting etc. The only con is that it needs a clear lid thats magnetic or latches.

I got these for my 3 yo who is in Occupational Therapy since the beads they were trying to have him work with were too small for my comfort level my son is developmentally delayed and also has sensory needs that he meets thru oral stimulation so most of all things go in his mouth so when I looked up for ones that were more for him I came across these.

I really love these beads. My 2 year old is easily entertained with this for and hour plus. She can string the beads herself and enjoys making necklace after necklace. I can see this lasting awhile as she gets old enough to play with patterns. The beads and string are well made and seem durable. I wish it came with more than 2 strings but she usually puts all the beads on 1 string anyway.
