Melissa & Doug Flower Power Wooden Bead Set
Melissa & Doug Flower Power Wooden Bead Set Reviews
We have several boxes of these Melissa And Doug bead sets b/c we just can’t get enough of them! My three children (twin boys – one girl) love to sit and make necklaces over and over again! YES! My boys love this too!!! It’s a great exercise for their fine motor skills! The patience they have all developed to sit and string these small beads together is wonderful! It’s great practice for them as they create different patterns with each new necklace. I suggest getting a few boxes – especially if you have more than one child playing with them at the same time. Our favorite set includes letters so they can each spell out their own name or other words.
My 5 year old daughter has strung many a cheap plastic bead in her day but these cheerfully painted wood beads are much prettier and sophisticated than the usual tacky plastic ones. With this kit she made 3 long necklaces for herself with some of the product left over.
For young children this is a great craft to build fine motor skills. This also became an educational opportunity when I started teaching her the words “pattern,” “symmetry” and “asymmetry.”
One evening when helping my daughter choose which bead to use next we compared sides and made a symmetrical patterned necklace. Then on her own she said she was going to make an asymmetrical pattern. All the necklaces turned out beautifully.
The packaging of this bead set is very attractive and would make a great birthday or Christmas gift especially for a girl. The price nice too.
