Colorful, heavy-duty chipboard lies flat for smooth tracing of fun shapes. Use the included 27 inch long coated 1 inch tipped color laces to lace around each 4-to-7-inch colorful shape! With these activities, children increase perception of shapes and visual discrimination. Lacing helps develop and strengthen fine-motor skills in a way that is fun and gives a sense of accomplishment. Lacing is also an excellent preparation for learning to tie shoes, and it promotes good penmanship by developing the pincer grip.
The Lacing and Tracing Set is classroom tested but is also great for home use. Lacing cards provide an inviting way to build the essential competence of hand-eye coordination, and these brightly colored shapes and laces make skill-building especially fun. Lacing activities also increase fine-motor control, introduce problem-solving, develop concentration, and encourage quiet play. Along with nine 27-inch laces, the set includes sturdy chipboard cards in the shape of a fish, a horse, a butterfly, a heart, an airplane, a gingerbread man, a triangle, a circle, and a square. Each card measures four to seven inches at its widest diameter. One-inch tips on the laces make them easy to grip. The cards also double as tracing tools. Use the outlines of the beloved shapes to create pictures, cut outs and more.
