Great product! Now if only my kids liked it...:
I'm very happy with the quality of these lacing shapes: sturdy wooden cutouts, bright colors, good-quality laces. However, my kids (ages 6 and 3) couldn't be less interested in them. Wait, I take that back. They're VERY interested in the laces. I find those wrapped around, twisted and tied to all sorts of OTHER toys. But never to the intended shapes. On the rare occasion they use the laces and shapes together, it is to string the lace through a single hole and swing the shape over their heads helicopter... more info
The quality I expect from Melissa & Doug:
These are real wood, and they come in a nice wooden box. (Though, as with other Melissa & Doug items, there is no lid to the box. That would make it 5 - or 6, if it were possible! - stars for me.) The cords are high quality and haven't unraveled or aged despite the fact that my three-year-old daughter uses them as ribbons and jewelry - they get a lot of abuse and still look brand new. Plus she likes to lace these and the animal ones partially and then pull them behind her, pretending all of them... more info
Very Educational and Durable:
These are great because the shapes are not too complicated but are still enough of a challenge to make them worth buying. They are sturdy as well. These help to teach hand-eye coordination, and I would recommend them.
Just as expected:
I LOVE Melissa and Doug! This does not disappoint. I run an at-home daycare and my kids enjoy lacing things up.
