[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a few pacing type activity toys and my 3 year old hasnt ever been that interested. But he LOVES Blues Clues and played with this for an hour and a half straight. Which is an eternity for a toddler. Was very easy for to hold the pieces and nice big openings made it easy to lace.
Great and Colorful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We think these are a great lacing bead set. Having four laces makes it easy to share. The blocks are a good size and the box is easy to reuse for storage. Our biggest complaint is that the box has no lid. Some of the colors are a little to similar making it challenging to differentiate between images on the cards and on the blocks. The blocks have a good variety of images both with and without blues clues characters. It includes pattern cards to follow but also allows independent play to. It would have been nice if there was some type of clip or stopper that could be added to one side of the string to prevent the frustration of beads falling off while trying to lace more on.
Absolutely AMAZING!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very cute set. My daughter likes to stack them but struggles to lace them because the strings are short and there's no stopper to stop the blocks from falling off one end. She likes to match them up to the included sequence cards. There's a lot that you can do with this set and she loves blues clues.
Fun to play with while learning

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter loves blues clues so she was super excited to open this up. Very pretty and attractive pictures on what feels like good quality wood. The cards and yarn feel very durable. My daughter loves stacking the blocks and lacing them in the order the cards asks. I will admit my little one only know basic shapes right now so it was a little confusing trying to learn a a couple of the newer ones. Overall great fun toy to learn with, just keep an eye out for their pinkies in the holes. Super easy to store on a shelf. Highly recommended, especially to those struggling with their shapes, counting, and colors!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Both my 3yr old and 5yr old were excited to see this arrive. I opened it up and let the 3yr old play first, after describing how to use it. He completely ignored the cards and wanted to just string every single block on the strings, while telling me what was on them. He played for about 10 minutes and decided he was done. The 5yr old later took a turn and again wasn't interested in the cards. and wanted to just make her own patterns. She played for about 10 min as well and then decided she was done. Neither of them have touched it again since, even though it's sitting within easy reach for them near other toys. We've had other Melissa & Doug toys, most have been well played with. This one just wasn't interesting enough for my kids. While they were initially excited, the novelty of something new quickly wore off. Perhaps it would be better for younger kids.
Super beads!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 2 year old absolutely loves these beads! They are perfect for lacing, and much to his delight can also be used to build!! I love The images painted on the blocks, what a wonderful learning opportunity. I would definitely buy these as a parent, and as an early childhood educator for use in the classroom. I think they are much better, especially for boys who hesitate to lace with the round beads. They are the perfect multipurpose toy.
Fun

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These blocks were a hit with my 3 year old!! It's brought him so many hours of play time. Would highly recommend. The only downside is storage. There's no way to easily store them without them spilling.
Excellent learning toy for toddlers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 3 year old son and 3 year old niece loved the Melissa & Doug Blues Clues Wooden Lacing Beads. It kept them very busy and they had fun. They sorted out the blocks by colors, pictures, and numbers. They even tried to make necklaces. I would most def recommend this to parents of toddlers.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 3 year old loves this. It was perfect to help him with his small motor skills. He is starting preschool soon so I def wanted him to practice skills. The beads are big enough for little hands.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This set is really cute and educational for the kids. Although, I wish that the strings were a little thicker or able to easily knot so kids can make the blocks stay in place. Also, it would help if it had a cover or something to keep all of the blocks in place. Aside from those two things, it's a cute set, especially for Blues Clues fans! It has all of the areas that are good for kids to learn at this age, ie numbers, shapes, colors, etc.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There are so many ways to have fun with this toy. My 3 year old daughter has enjoyed sorting with the pattern cards they provide in this set plus we also make up our own sort patterns (by shape, color, character, etc). By using the laces to string the beads onto, it teaches coordination and motor skills. The only slight negative thing I have found with this toy is that my daughter likes to stick her finger in the hole of the bead and it gets slightly stuck.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter was so thrilled when she saw this because she loves Blues Clues. There are so many activities that you can do with this set. We put the beaded blocks on according to colors, shapes and by foods, numbers etc. We made necklaces. We stacked blocks. We told stories. This is great for teaching shapes, colors, numbers etc. and using creativity. It is sturdy and looks great.
So cute and great teaching tool!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Melissa and Doug products, including this Blues Clues & You! Wooden Lacing Beads. I can teach my 3 year old his numbers and shapes while he improves his fine motor skills lacing the beads! The beads are large enough for him to handle so he can easily slip them on the strings that are included. Cards with pictures of the numbers and shapes are including so my son can also practice matching the pictures on the beads to the pictures on the cards. This is a fantastic product for preschool age kids!
Colorful & Fun!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids had so much fun playing with these Blues Clues Wooden Lacing Beads! They're colorful and have lots of different shapes, numbers & characters on them. It's great for fine-motor skills, as well as counting and pattern building! And since it's Melissa & Doug brand it has well-made, quality pieces! We had contests to see who could get the most beads on their string the fastest! We loved them, and I plan to get some for gifts for my friend's kids!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kept my 3 year old entertained for over 30 mins. He enjoyed lacing the strong through the hole in each block and matching the patterns on the provided card. I would have given this 5 stars except for 2 little issues I had with it. 1. Can not be left alone to play with the toy and the string can be easily wrapped around neck. 2. 2 of the strings were "unfinished" on one end (without the plastic protector) so those string frayed easily and made it more difficult to use after a few tries
