Butterfly Friends Bead Set

Beading encourages fine motor skills

Picking up the wooden beads, arranging simple jewellery designs, and stringing the beads onto the laces--every stage of play with this sturdy beading set bolsters fine motor skills and finger strength. Picking up a bead naturally demands a pincer grasp, which in turn lays the groundwork for a tripod pencil grasp and writing readiness. Holding the extra-long eaglet to point precisely through the hole in a bead further reinforces this important skill as well as hand-eye coordination.

Caregivers can encourage development even more by encouraging children to tie knots in the laces or to follow the simple directions to attach the reusable clasps themselves. But like all the best learning activities, this skill-builder works best when children are left to their own devices--naturally forming the proper grasps and building motor strength effortlessly through play.

Creative freedom builds confidence

With designs that work together in any combination, this open-ended set lets the child be the jewellery designer--deciding which beads should go together to create a finished look that’s completely unique.

With design success a sure bet, the sturdy aglets and laces ensure the process of making the jewellery is simple, too
