3The toy is fun, but quality could be better  Jul 18, 2008 By A professional, a wife, and a mother
My 2-year old son was interested in the toy from the moment he saw it. He enjoys stringing the beads and then dragging then around on the string. He can be entertained with it for quite a long time. The colors and shapes are fun and attractive.

The quality of the product leaves something to be desired. After playing with the beads on a hardwood floor for one evening, the paint has begun to rub off the edges of the pieces. The holes in the pieces are not sanded finely enough, so sometimes the string gets snagged when one tries to pull it through. Also, and I don't know if that is intentional, or if any other similar product does it differently, but the piece of the rope that is covered in plastic is too short: you have to hold the string about 1 inch away from the plastic covered part to fit it into the bead to be able to grab the string on the other end. An adult can do it of course, but it's hard to do for a 2-yo.

5Great activity for quiet time  Aug 31, 2007 By J. Ewald
I bought this for my 18 month old because she is really into books, puzzles and stacking blocks. She picked up the beading concept right away and was thrilled with this new toy. I think the bright colors and variety of shapes are interesting to little ones and it's a great activity for teaching hand/eye coordination. The beads can also be used for stacking. We do this activity before naptime or bedtime as a quiet transition. This will be a perfect toy to grow with her as she gets older and starts learning patterns and color families. Another great product from Melissa & Doug.

3Just okay.  Oct 23, 2007 By J. Fusco
Let me just say- I love the design & colors! My 4 year old has tons of fun creating patterns & making games out of the beads (blocks) & string. However, the paint chips easily, the blocks get dented & the overall quailty is "just okay". This is not a toy I see lasting through both of my childen (4 years & 4 months). I enjoy HABA's quailty better when it comes to wooden toys.

2Paint chips off easily...  Sep 16, 2009 By Tracy
I am currently shopping for some new lacing beads... I thought I would write a review since I am replacing a set of these for two main reasons.

1) The paint chipped off these quickly. My son does like to drag his full string of beads, so I would understand some wear and tear, but they look horrible. I want my 1 year old daughter to play with them and I am not comfortable with her using this set.

2) I was originally drawn to the numbers and shapes, but after having them for over a year I think they are too busy and difficult for children to create patterns with.

I have to say my son loves these and has enjoyed playing with them once a week or so. He is quiet and focused when lacing them.

5A calm activity  Jan 02, 2008 By *Bones* "Blame McSteve"
This set of lacing beads is a big hit with my two year old. The beads seem durable, I haven't noticed any paint chipping, and they're big enough for small hands to grip. I like that the holes in the beads are wide enough that it doesn't cause any frustration while my child plays with it. The lace ( a colorful shoelace) is pretty long so I wouldn't recommend allowing a youngster to fiddle with this set alone. Great product. A good bang for your buck.
