I purchased this set of lacing beads to use with our homeschooling group for the younger kids to play with. I like that these can be used with a variety of ages and they are large enough not to be a choking hazard for the kids. My daughter has been playing with them since we got them and we have been discovering lots of other ways that we can incorporate them into our lessons other than just using them for lacing. Also, these will work well in some of our STEM activities for the older kids. The set comes with a drawstring storage bag, 2 lacing strings with plastic aglets and 36 colorful plastic beads of different shapes and sizes. These are great for developing good hand-eye coordination and helps with improving fine motor skills.
