Melissa & DougCreated by Me! Bead Bouquet Deluxe Wooden Bead Set with 220+ Beads for Jewelry-Making

Purchased this for my three year-old granddaughter. She used the beads and made necklaces for hours. She loved all the different bead shapes and colors. Beads are very well-made and perfect for a three year-old toddler. Would definitely recommend this to other parents and grandparents.

My nieces 4 and 6 loved this! Super cool how you can make your own clasp.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Perfect for little 3 year old fingers to use!

These beads are pretty and sturdy. The hard plastic at the ends of the string make it easy for my 4-year-old granddaughter to thread the beads herself. We did work together, but really my help was only needed for tying the string when each project was done.

We enjoy Melissa and doug toys! They are always great basics to have, and always fun. I like this set, BUT I wish it had some sort of storage lid. It comes in a nice wooden tray, like most Melissa and doug toys, but with all the beads it would be nice if they included a lid.

It was a good product!

Just sent my niece this set this week. It is her first real craft activity set at home (vs at daycare), she is an 'advanced' 3 year old. She took to it immediately. All the bead choices, colors, shapes, sizes, etc. She only needed us to make the knot in the lace to get started and she was off! It really holds her interest for hours as she makes necklaces "to order" for you. And such a reasonable price, and typical Melissa & Doug quality. I ordered a pack of extra 'chunky wood bead laces' I found on Amazon that work with these just fine, just in case. I know her Mom is happy that this helps develop fine motor skills, but i like that it lets her creativity really flourish

Love all the prep and choices. My only wish was that the board you can use for all the pieces had a close able lid to keep it all contained for storage. Overall a really cute set you can create and re created and is very durable.
