Hape String Along Shapes

I got these for my daughter for her second birthday. She asks to play with them often and uses them for their intended lacing purpose, as well as for stacking, rolling, and generally throwing them around. They have held up well so far. This is not an activity she can do completely by herself, as I always have to start off by tying a bead at one end of the string for her, but after that she can pretty much do it by herself. A few of the holes were a bit rough and some are not exactly centered on the bead, but nothing that affects the usability of the product. One fun bonus that I didn’t expect was the box comes with cardboard dividers separating the beads by colors, and one of my daughter’s favorite activities is putting them away and naming the color as she does. I think it has really helped with her learning the names of her colors.
