Good Large Lacing Toy
By AnnInKC
My daughter received this for her 2nd birthday. I chose this as an introductory lacing activity for her, as the cards with wool are too advanced for her skills. She enjoys playing with the chunky wooden washing - likes to hold it against her body as if trying it on! I thought she would need quite a bit of help to actually lace, but after only a couple of practice sessions, I think she's got the hang of it. The wooden needle is at least 2 inches long and thick, which is pretty easy to poke through the wide holes in the wooden pieces. It's a little harder for her to remove the items off the rope/line. I don't think she's as excited about this toy as I was (!), but it's good for fine motor skills and they can use the clothing articles for other imaginative play, too. Mind the cord as a strangulation hazard for younger siblings - it's a lot longer than I anticipated.

By Busy Mom
I bought this for my 2 1/2 year old daughter. She
liked it at first but then lost interest. I have come up with
some games so that interest can be rekindled. My biggest
complaint is that the paint began to chip off almost instantly.
This is a toy with pieces that are designed to smack into one
another; it should be sturdier. Otherwise, it is colorful and
eye catching.

Good lacing toy
By Amanda Greer
We just received this item yesterday and she was very interested. I showed her how to do it and then she was on her way, stringing and unstringing. She is under the recommended age but was very able to do it and enjoy it with supervision. She spent a ton of time playing with it already and showing it to everyone. The 'needle' part was plenty long to go through the items and have enough where she could grab the other side. The clothesline motif is very cute. Overall well worth the purchase. Recommended!
