Product Information

Children can begin using threading toys from the age of 18 months +. To start they may need to thread larger beads or objects with larger threading holes as their motor skills are not as developed. As they get older and refine their motor skills, they should be able to thread regular-sized playing beads with smaller threading holes. What are the benefits of threading toys? Grimms Large Threading Buttons. 24 brightly coloured buttons with two threading holes, also great for building and colour sorting. Comes with two threading cords.

Get out your calotte (I had to look up what this was called, before this I knew it as 'one of those crimpy things'), and lay the knot across it. Close the calotte, trapping the knot. Before you do this you may want to fix the knot with a dab of glue or clear nail varnish. I sometimes bother, sometimes I don't! Trim the loose ends. Excuse the fluffy ends on my pic, I didn't have my nice sharp embroidery snips with me. Fold down the loop, trapping your split ring in it. Threading activities support various areas of the development outlined in the EYFS framework. Some ways include:Progression - as children’s lacing skills improve you can increase the difficulty of activities by progressing from larger lacing holes to small ones or lacing in more complex patterns Communication and language - if threading is guided, it can support the development of listening and speaking skills.

Development of fine motor skills - important for activities like drawing, writing, doing up buttons and more!

There are many benefits of lacing toys on a child’s development. Some of the main benefits include: Enhances independence - threading toys are often used independently. Children can engage in self-directed play, which fosters a sense of autonomy. Enhances creativity - many threading toys will come with a variety of shapes, colours and objects. This can encourage children to get creative with their threading sequences. Thread your lobster clasp onto your cord, approximately 3/5 of the way, and tie a knot (as shown.) The different lengths of the cord will help with your two tiers.
