How children learn with Giant Lacing Beads
Threading, sorting and organising the beads builds dexterity and hand-eye coordination. Talking about colours, shapes and sizes develops vocabulary, while grouping and ordering the beads introduces classification, patterning and early maths. Used in small groups, the beads also encourage sharing, communication and problem solving.
