Great for preschooler
Great toy for preschooler! Helps with fine motor building, creating patterns, and identifying shapes and colors. Nice quality and durable. The beads are pretty large, so they won’t get lost easily.

Nice toddler toy
Fun toy for toddlers. Keeps them busy working on motor skills, colors, counting, and shapes.

Perfect for little hands!
My 2-year-old granddaughter loves these beads! The colors of the different shapes are very vibrant, and they are well-made and should hold up for years to come. Until she got used to pulling the string through and holding on to it, I taped on a q-tip. Now she’s stringing like a champ, and loves reciting the colors as she does.

Quality toy
I’ve wanted one of these types of toys for my toddler and finally got him this one for Xmas. These are good quality for the price. They are great for hand coordination and the holes for the beads are big enough to make it easy to use.

Love it
A perfect toy for my toddler to practice stringing beads! She stays busy with it for a while and enjoys it when she can do it by herself. The size is good. I only rated four stars because they sent me a box that had two blue cubes (missing green) but it’s ok!! Overall great quality, durable toy and easy to put away!

Good for learning fine motor skills.
These beads are nice and big to play with. Our granddaughters love them and enjoy making necklaces. The only thing it’s missing is a cover for the box to put them in-maybe a bag.
