Rainbow Lacing Wheel

£20From 3 years

A wooden wheel and twelve coloured laces for threading patterns, spirals and sunbursts.

Free to reserve. Pay when you collect, and we hold it for 3 days.

A calm, absorbing activity for car journeys, cafés and quiet afternoons. Children thread the soft cotton laces in and out of the holes to make patterns, then pull them out and start again.

Threading strengthens the small muscles of the hand that children later use for holding a pencil.

What it helps practise

  • Pincer grip and finger strength
  • Patterns and sequencing
  • Focus and calm
  • Colour mixing ideas
