Kids love these Lacing & Tracing activities. Colorful, heavy-duty chipboard lies flat for smoother tracing of the fun shapes, animals, trains, planes, snacks, and more. Lacing helps promote good penmanship because it develops the pincer grip. The activities also increase fine-motor control, introduce problem-solving, develop concentration, and encourage quiet play. Laces are 27" long with easy-to-thread 1" tips. Pieces vary from 4" to 7" in size.
