Simple Lacing, Endless Practice
Lacing is one of the simplest ways to build the hand skills children need later for buttoning, tying shoes and writing. These lacing toys keep it playful: a cord is already attached, so there is nothing to assemble. Toddlers just pick up the wooden handle, choose a hole and begin.
No Single Right Way to Play
There is no fixed pattern here. Children can go in and out of the holes in order, skip across the board, wrap the cord around the edges or invent their own designs. Because play is self-directed, it also fits well among open play toys, where the child decides what happens next.
A Puppy That Teaches Patience
The dog shape gives lacing a story. Toddlers can "tie up" the puppy, give it stripes or stitch a coat across its back. The eight holes sit in neat rows on the body, so it is easy to see where to go next and satisfying to watch the red cord form a pattern against the wood tones.
An Activity Toy for Toddlers, On the Go
At just 20.5 cm long and 1 cm thick, this board slips into a bag easily. It is a calm, quiet activity toy for toddlers for restaurants, journeys, waiting rooms and quiet time at home. The cord stays attached, so no pieces get lost along the way.
Built to Be Reused
Lace it, pull it out and lace it again. The cord pulls free easily, so the same board gives lots of repeat practice without any extra parts.
