Editorial Review:
This classic has been reborn with lively graphics, bold colors and new shapes. Your little one will love spending hours piecing together fun shapes, numbers, colors and patterns. Includes 27 solid wood beads and two extra-long laces. Everything comes stored in a handy box.
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.

Customer Reviews:
colorful and fun
My daughter (now 2.9) loves these. She makes necklaces as well as using the beads like blocks. Baby sister is attracted to them as well. 2008-08-31
Perfect lacing beads
My daughter just turned two, but already enjoys playing with these beads. I love the bright colors and how chunky they are. It is easy for her little fingers. 2008-08-27
The toy is fun, but quality could be better
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.

Lacing Beads
My granddaughter is 3 and loves these beads;they are easy for her to use, colorful, and durable. I have given my grandchildren other Melissa & Doug puzzles and games and they are some of their favorites. 2008-07-01
Love M & D toys!
This is such a great toy! We purchased it for our 4 year old sons birthday. He really enjoys stringing the beads and tying the string around various things in our house. It is great for small motor control! 2008-05-29
