Lacing Shape Beads

The Lacing Shape Beads Set is an engaging early learning resource designed to develop fine motor skills, shape recognition and hand-eye coordination through hands-on threading activities. Ideal for nurseries, primary schools, early years classrooms and home learning, this colourful set encourages children to explore shapes while strengthening essential pre-writing skills.

The set includes 72 brightly coloured plastic shape beads and 6 threading laces, making it suitable for individual, paired and small-group activities. Each bead measures 2.5cm square, while the laces measure approximately 52cm, making them easy for small hands to grasp and thread.

The beads are printed on one side only, allowing teachers to hide the printed shape during activities so children can identify it by memory or observation. The set includes both regular and irregular shapes, including a square, rectangle, triangle, circle, star and diamond, helping children build confidence in recognising and comparing geometric shapes.

Perfect for threading, sorting, sequencing and shape identification activities, this versatile resource supports early mathematical understanding while improving dexterity and concentration.
