MELISSA & DOUG WOODEN LACING BEADS

Cheap MELISSA & DOUG WOODEN LACING BEADS Review

Stringing beads is fun even for boys! Don't let a gender stereotype keep your son/nephew from having fun with these beads. I'm a fan of Melissa & Doug products & this one is just as good as the others we have.
These differently shaped, brightly painted beads come in a shallow crate with two long strings for making necklaces, snakes, or just watching the beads slid off the other end. I do wish they came in an enclosed storage box, but I can easily find something for that.
My 2 1/2 yr old son will sit, actually sit!, and string these over & over. He enjoys making necklaces for us & himself or just stacking the beads & exclaiming over the colors & shapes. Because there IS string involved supervision is a must.
This set isn't just for fun though, you can use it to help teach colors & shapes & the child's dexterity improves each time they play with them. Within a couple of weeks my son's manual dexterity improved greatly, along with concentration & his ability to sit still longer than two minutes! Also, he doesn't get as frustrated with this toy as he can with others, this one is pure fun for him!
I've rated the durability of this toy as 3 because we haven't had it longer than a couple of months...the beads do get tossed & banged & there is a little bit of paint chipped off, but so far so good.
