This fantastic set of WOODEN LACING BUTTONS IN BOX will challenge your child. There are 40 buttons and 2 Red & White laces in the box: 10 Red Buttons 10 Blue Buttons 10 Green Buttons 10 Yellow Buttons Each colour has 2 x Buttons with 1 hole, 2 x Buttons with 2 holes, 2 x Buttons with 3 holes, 2 x Buttons with 4 x holes, and 2 x Buttons with 5 holes. Thread the buttons onto the lace to practice fine motor skills, have fun matching colours and make patterns. It’s tricky to thread a button with 1 hole and very challenging to thread in and out of the ones with multiple holes. Threading and lacing is a fantastic way to develop hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, and dexterity. It encourages children to use their wrists as well as their hands. The twisting and turning of the wrist is a valuable pre-writing skill. AGE: 3 years+
