Remember all the fine motor activities I shared last month?

Well, here’s another! Djeco’s Perles Jungle Beads make both threading (fine motor) and counting (math) fun and playful. Add in patterns with older children and you’ve found a bonus way to incorporate math in the play, too.

What child wouldn’t love these ten chunky wooden animal shaped beads?

Thread the wooden animals between the felt shapes onto one or two threading laces.

Aren’t these beads adorable?

Even my 10 year old loved these beads! (Maybe it will help with her messy handwriting!)
