How to use: First, take out the laces and the beads from the storage jar. You can start stringing the beads on the lace according to the letter sequence you want to form, like making words. It's a great way to help toddlers learn letters and improve their hand - eye coordination. Note: Keep the small parts away from toddlers when they are not supervised to avoid choking hazards. Maintenance: If the beads get dirty, you can simply wash them with mild soap and water. Then dry them thoroughly before putting them back in the storage jar.
