Bead Asssortment (52 Pieces) Review

I wanted to buy a lacing set for my toddler to use (supervised, of course!) to practice fine motor skills. I love the HABA brand and wanted something safe. And you can't beat the design elements that HABA always come through with. This set seemed like a great value for the money, with 52 pieces. However, the photo shows hearts, bells, and other shaped beads and there were only three "special" beads in the set. The rest are plain ovals or circles. Blah. What fun is that? I should have just gone to the craft store and picked up some unfinished beads.
These are also a lot smaller than I was expecting. I didn't think they'd be huge, but the biggest one- a heart (and remember, that's one of THREE large beads)- is a little less than an inch long and the hole is teeny. My daughter can thread the shoelace through these with assistance and she would have been able to do it on her own if the holes were bigger. There's one shoelace included, and you can't fit all the beads on it. Extra shoelaces are easy to find, but still.
I wanted to purchase a second set of beads in the future to add to the fun, maybe one of the cute Bambini sets that are more interesting. Now I think I'm going to hold off, unless I can see them in person first. And I'm going to pay a lot more attention to product dimensions in the future.

Bambini Cars Review

These beads are an excellent way to hone your toddler's fine motor skills and eye-hand coordination. We have the car set, as well as the laundry set, which is great for generating conversations with your little one about dressing routines and appropriate dressing for the weather. We often hang the laundry out to dry and drive the cars around, so the beads definitely get used for pretending, too. Each set comes with a wooden "needle" to grade the challenge if your little one finds it too difficult to thread the beads onto the string. They also come with a zip-up case, making them convenient to store and carry along in the diaper bag. With parent supervision, I would recommend introducing these beads at 2 years or even a few months before. An overall excellent toy for developing fine motor skills, attention, and focus.
