This busy bag is perfect for toddlers and preschoolers who love to lace! This set is simply a small bag of small wood beads in a variety of shapes and textures and a hemp rope. The bag is small enough to take with you!
What they are learning WHILE having fun:
– Hand/Eye coordination and spacial recognition. – Being able to line up the beads and place them on the lace
– Fine motor – Practicing using fine motor pincer grasp in order to manipulate the beads. Builds hand muscles and dexterity which are essential for a proper pencil grasp.
– Concentration. This activity utilizes several manipulatives for open-ended pretend play so it offers a great opportunity to sit and focus on a task before it is completed.
