My youngest niece created her very first giant necklace. 🙂

She brought her wooden lacing toy to our place and we both had a lot of fun with this little game. Lacing toys are a great way to encourage every toddler's fine motor skills and hand-eye-coordination. It also teaches them to keep trying and not to give up until they finally succeed to put the thread through the hole.

I especially like that they are made out of wood and therefore also have a certain sensory effect. There are many variations - not just for girls but also for boys. I am a huge fan of HABA products, a German company producing high quality wooden toys for kids all over the world. With these I am on the safe side and never need to worry about splinters in tiny toddler hands.
