Lovely toy, 7 Aug. 2009

Lovely solid wooden beads in bright colours. It comes with 2 laces for threading which is good if there are a couple of kids around.My nearly 2 year old daughter really enjoys threading them, stacking them up and telling me the colours.My only gripe would be that the box has no lid which is a bit of a pain from a storage point of view.

great for developing motor and counting skills in toddlers, 30 Dec. 2009

My two year old enjoys lacing the large wooden shapes onto the strings. My five year old enjoys using it too - as she can put them on in patterns or numerically.The beads and string are of good quality and very bright BUT we do keep losing them as they roll under the sofa! So you will have to put them into a large biscuit tin or similar container because they come in an open-topped wooden box which is the only negative point.

Bright colourful beading toy, 2 Dec. 2010

I bought this for my daughter for her second birthday. She really wasn't that interest at the time. She is now coming up to 3.5 and really enjoys threading th beads to make necklaces. Its nice that there are a variety of different shapes. She not particularly interested in the number block yet but I'm sure this will come in the future.Its not a toy that's used every day but its a lovely colourful robust toy with educational value.
