Customer Review: I use the beads for myself.
This review will begin with my own experiences with these beads, and later will include opinions of it as a toy from the perspective of a childless person. I have started the new hobby of beading. This kit includes beads I can use for making jewelry. The only disadvantage of them for jewelry making is the holes are very large in the beads. (This would be an advantage to children, I would think.) I have solved the problem of the big holes by either knotting stringing material and slipping the beads over the knots, or inserting a smaller bead inside the wooden one.

Customer Review: Not much interest
I bought this for my 33-month old son as his first introduction to lacing and I must say that I’m slightly disappointed. However, I think that if your child has already done some lacing in the past, then this would be more enjoyable for the child.
