How To Play

Lacing and threading toys are wonderful ways to help develop fine motor skills, great way to develop hand-eye coordination and gives then an understanding of cause and effect. Hand your little one a pipe cleaner and watch as they find a way to lace up the ornament. We kept one, its a keepsake of our Wild Busy Bee & her first learning to thread.
