JCREN Lacing Apple Threading Toys

We took this toy on our recent trip to Japan and my 12 month old loved it! We’re a screen free family and this toy is a win!! It’s very functional and well designed, it makes him really use his fine motors, and the apple itself is a perfect size and fits in his little hands perfectly. It’s a great restaurant toy too! It’s weighted b it not too heavy at all, it just feels like a good quality toy. I do feel that because of the string, it’s the kind of toy that should be played with under pera tal supervision.

I'm a special education teacher with two master's degrees and a certification in early childhood education, and this toy is perfect for fine motor skills! I didn't get a picture of it because I gave it as a gift to my niece, but it was a fan favorite with all the kids! Do you know one of the skills toddlers need to learn is to lace a string through a hole? This is a toy that is inviting and easy to use. It is also helpful that it is attached! I've had toys that are just strings and wooden blocks, and they always end up all over the ground or go missing. This is all together and will not make a mess in your home!

This was a nice quality and bright colors! Fun quiet activity.

This toy is great for exploring with little hands as well as finger dexterity! However, would recommend only playing with toddlers supervised, any kid that's putting things in their mouth could swallow the caterpillar, then there's a big problem. As well as the string is a strangulation hazard. Left my little one for a minute with it and returned and she was putting it around her neck like a scarf. So it stays on the top shelf and we only play with it together. The string is also very durable, which is great that it hasn't snapped or broken off of the apple!

Exactly as pictured! Back to the classics. Such a cute Montessori toy. Bought for a friend’s 2 year old and she loves it

High quality

Great toy to keep hands busy when traveling or sitting anywhere. My toddler has a potty basket with toys and books for use while sitting on the potty, and this is a favorite. I do not recommend it as a regular shelf toy if your toddler is a little wild. It will get swung around and become a weapon lol

I got this toy on a sale and it instantly became a favorite. She needs me to hold the apple sometimes so she can steady her hand better, but she loves threading the caterpillar. The toy is a great size for toddler hands, very sturdy. Color is accurate to listing. Not too heavy. We have so much fun with it.
