Melissa & Doug Deluxe Wooden Stringing Beads with over 200 beads

Cheap Melissa & Doug Deluxe Wooden Stringing Beads with over 200 beads Review




I bought this item as a Xmas gift for my 1/2 year old. She loved it. The first thing she wanted to do was make a necklace for one of her classmates. We found the beads to be large enough to easily thread. I was a little dissappointed with the thread. It looks like a very long shoelace which means you have to put many, many, many, many beads on it to make it look full and nice. Also, there are "anglets" at the end of the string which makes it difficult to knot. The string looks like a 4" or 6" shoelace. We could have knotted it better without the anglets. I think it is meant to be tied somehow.

The box is very attractive but it does not come with a lid. Do not open if you do not have a large ziplock bag to put in. Or at least another box to put the beans into.

I like making craft items and found this product very easy to use.
