Classic World wooden fruit threading beads are 12 colourful fruit-shaped beads and a lace with a wooden needle – for toddlers from 18 months.

These wooden lacing beads for toddlers are a colourful, safe learning set. Your child threads fruit-shaped beads onto the lace with a wooden needle, and the activity holds their attention for a long time. Bright colours and varied shapes help learn fruit names and sharpen observation. The beads are large and easy to grasp, made of wood and coated with non-toxic paints. Size: 9.3 × 2.1 × 26 cm.

What your child develops

• Fine motor skills. Threading beads onto the lace.
• Hand-eye coordination. Aiming the needle at the hole.
• Shapes, colours and fruit. Naming each bead.

How to play

Start with 2–3 beads and name each fruit as your child threads it. Gradually add more.

For older children, make a pattern – apple, pear, apple – and ask them to repeat it.
