SPARK & WOW Calm Down Threading Boards - Sensory Board for Calming Corner - Social Emotional Learning Activities - Occupational Therapy Toys

We all absolutely love this set. My kids (11 & 7) both find it easy to use, and they have come up with a lot of creative designs. It is a relaxing activity for adults as well. I typically like scrolling on my phone or playing video games, but I have really enjoyed the time I have spent working on this craft instead. It is very easy to thread the string through the 'pen' to get started. Getting the very first part to stick can be a little tricky (like 2 out of 10 tricky), but after that, every time you poke the pen into the hole, the strings stay put. It is easy to remove the string when you are done. This makes nearly no 'mess,' so it's perfect for a car ride or quiet activity when out and about. We are still able to fit the entire set in the box in which it came. In a perfect world, there would be more string to use, or the strings could be longer, or there could be a larger variety of colors, but I suppose you could find similar string and it might work just fine with this (it's basically like shoelace).

Such a fresh toy for fine motor skills, pre-writing skills, etc! Easy to pack in a bag or take on the go. My 3.5 year old is still getting the hang of it, it’s just enough of a challenge for her. Quality of materials seems great so far, but we’ll see how they hold up.

Lovely product great for visual perceptual skills and fine motor precision however it should come with designs to create or design cards to copy.

Works great to keep the grandkids quiet & busy for a little while.

My grandchildren sit quietly and makes interesting pictures.
