    A staple toy

    A great toy that keeps my toddler occupied for a good amount of time. I just wish it came with a couple extra laces.

    Simple and Fun

    My almost three year old loves this. It’s nice quality and the strings are long which helps him to thread the beads easier.

    Great wooden beads set!

    Love these beads! One set of the colors are pretty small and could be a choking hazard, but all the other beads are much larger. Great toy!

    This box does NOT come with a lid. Makes storing this item a bit impractical.

    Look out for splinters

    Amazing for toddlers! One think I disliked about it is some of the beads weren’t sanded down and my husband got a splinter from it. Be careful using it, otherwise it’s a great activity!

    Amazing!

    Works great for fine motor skills! It held my 2 year olds attention for a long time. It’s great for 1-2 years old. She did get frustrated for a minute left then came back and mastered it. Now we are working to learn patterns. Can teach colors, shapes, and patterns easily!

    Great for fine motor skills! My kids (5 and 3yo) have used them and I have also purchased as gifts. The beads and laces are very nice quality and hold up well to a lot of use!

    Great concept but doesnt deliver

    Not a fan of toys with a million pieces to begin with. There’s no storage option in the toy itself. The beads are much bigger than the string, so you can’t string them on without the beads falling off. Not a fan.

    Not bad

    overall the toy is okay but the inside of the beads are very rough and snag the string when pulling through eventually making the strings unusable

    Rough Inside

    Interiors of the beads were not sanded are therefore quite rough. this makes it hard to get the laces through and leads to a frustrated toddler. Other Melissa & Doug beads we own did not have this problem.
