Complete Set for Introducing Children to Stringing

Painted in bright colors with sweet details, the wooden String a Farm pieces include standard farm animals as well as a red barn, a yellow tractor, and a fruit tree. Each piece has a lengthwise hole for stringing.

The set includes a child-sized wooden needle attached to a yellow string. A small silo is attached to the end of the string, acting as a stopper to keep the strung pieces from sliding off the other end.

Colorful Design Encourages Children to Explore Farm Life

The chunky figures included in String a Farm are thick enough to stand up on their own, allowing children to use them to act out farm scenes. The whimsical designs and bright colors will delight the tot-sized crowd. You're sure to hear your child's favorite animal noises as they explore the textures, shapes, and colors of the String a Farm.

Ideal for Teaching Counting and Improving Dexterity

Stringing the animals improves dexterity and helps children master fine motor skills. String a Farm can also be used to help children follow sequences and introduce basic counting, colors, and vocabulary.

Sturdy Construction Provides Long-Lasting Value

Our testers enjoyed making the animal noises as they threaded each animal with the wooden needle. Even though they also enjoyed letting the strung animals crash to the floor after they were finished stringing them, the sturdily constructed pieces did not show any signs of damage after several rounds of rough play.

What's in the Box

Twelve wooden beads and cotton lace with needle and stopper.

I bought this String a Farm for my handicapped daughter, not knowing whether she could string the blocks or not, but to my amazement she figured it out immediately! This toy is very easy for her to handle and manuever and she was so pleased with her success! Highly recommend this sturdy toy.

This toy is terrific for two-year-olds. My daughter loves stringing the animals and other farm related beads. She especially likes the tractor and the chickens. The farm pieces do make quite a noise when dumped off the string, but that doesn't bother us. This toy is durable, colorful, and fun.

It is made in China, and uses very cheap and harmful paint, I think. It's shape and color is fair, but the painting is really bad. Smell is also bad. Read more

I love these chunky beads. My 2 year old has no problems stringing them on the long string, especially since the end of the string has a long wooden dowel. These are great!
