For Motor Skill Development, Aminal Recognition, Colors, Matching
Charlotte and Rhyleigh received the Lace & Trace Pets and the Lace & Trace Farm sets for Christmas, and they LOVED each set! These sets are recommended for kids ages 3 and up. Charlotte being 5 years old at the time was able to grasp the lacing concept fairly quickly. Rhyleigh only being around 21 months at the time obviously wanted to take part in the activities, but we kept a watchful eye with the laces. She was honestly more into looking at each animal while trying to make their respective animal noise, so it worked out for both kids!
I even had fun lacing around the animals! 🤣
For only $10.79 per set, your kids will have hours of fun!
