It is ok. My toddler was not too interested in it. Sep 22, 2021

These are so cute and my 2 year old is just getting into them. I do wish they were sturdier. They seem like thick cardboard, wood would be better Jul 27, 2021

Hard pass. Got this for developmentally appropriate lacing fun but there was no interest, the laces got tangled. Boring. Jun 19, 2021

My 2 and 5 year old love to play with these lacing animals. We bring them to church and restaurants to keep to busy and entertained without making noise. Jan 23, 2021

I teach special education and I use these in my classroom. They are great for letting kids work on fi e motorskills while still being able to play. Jan 29, 2020

the wood core of these animals catches on the lacing cord and sometimes causes splinters of wood to be in the cords. Sep 23, 2017

My 2.5 yo at first didn't use this and then a couple weeks later got interested, it just took a bit more time to grasp the concept. He likes it, they're displayed in his room. And you can reuse! Jan 23, 2014

I love them because H strings them together and makes me necklaces that make me feel like an 80s rapper ;) Nov 24, 2013

Strings are everywhere, and our almost 3 daughter wasn't really interested in sewing yet. Nov 12, 2013

I like the idea of these but my daughter didn't use them as much as I would have liked. Still great quality - love Melissa & Doug toys. Dec 30, 2021

These are great for encouraging fine motor skill and my kids liked them but the front design/picture easily chips and flakes off. For the price it is a good toy but these didn't hold up the best. Dec 31, 2020

Great for learning coordination but my 3 yr old likes to just play with the string most the time. Apr 04, 2018

These were great for when my son was doing his occupational therapy. He loved threading the show laces through and these are sturdier then others I had bought. Oct 25, 2017

We love to take ours on trips and to church for a quite time activity. My 3.5 does them easily and enjoys playing pretend with the animals as well. Jan 11, 2017

I like that my 3.5 year old can work on his hand/eye coordination, but the strings make me nervous, esp with a baby in the house, so I have to keep this on a high shelf when not in use. Mar 02, 2016

Great challenge for little hands. More for the older child! Cute cards and bright colors!! Jan 16, 2016

My 5yr has this and really enjoys tracing it with the string Jan 16, 2016

This was a gift, and probably purchased too soon. But the 2 y/o loves it and begs for an adult to help him thread the pieces. Will be a great toy when he can do them himself :) Aug 23, 2014
