Alphabet Lacing Beads

Description

A familiar name, a little word or a colorful pattern—there’s more than one place to start. Pick your letters, guide a lace through each bead and slide them into place. Unthread them whenever a new idea comes along.

Highlights

• Uppercase alphabet beads for exploring letters, names and simple words.
• Bright colors for sorting, matching and repeating patterns.
• Smooth, rounded plastic beads with holes for threading.
• Picking up beads, guiding the lace and sliding each piece offer hands-on fine motor practice.

Ways to play

1. Thread & Slide: Hold a bead, guide the lace through its hole and slide it along. Add a few more to continue.
2. Spell Something Familiar: Find the available letters for a name or short word, then thread them in order.
3. Change One Letter: Build CAT, then replace the T with P to make CAP. Say each word together.
4. Make a Color Pattern: Alternate two colors on a lace, then try a three-color sequence.
5. Sort & Find: Group beads by color or letter, then search for the letters needed for your next word.
