Beads, Bobbles and Laces

Product Code : LSK-ML-10096

Beads, Bobbles and Laces (SKU LSK-ML-10096) is a threading set of tough plastic beads with colourful strings. Young learners thread and move the beads to build fine motor skills while developing early maths ideas: grouping, ordering, matching beads to numbers and recognising patterns. It is used in pre-primary, early-years and special-needs classrooms. Science Lab Supplies, a school laboratory equipment supplier in India that also manufactures, makes the set at its Saha, Ambala factory (Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area) and ships it to schools, contractors and distributors.

Specifications

The beads are made of tough plastic that stands up to repeated classroom use, and the strings come in bright colours so they can double as sorting categories. Threading needs a steady pincer grip and hand–eye coordination, which is why the set suits the earliest stages of maths learning.

Applications and Experiments for Beads, Bobbles and Laces

Threading is a hands-on way into number: a child strings five beads and says five, copies a red-blue-red pattern, or sorts beads by colour before counting each group. These maths lab manipulatives link physical play with the counting and pattern skills that early-years curricula expect.

• Pre-primary fine motor practice: threading and pincer grip.
• Counting and one-to-one number association.
• Copying, continuing and creating repeating patterns.
• Grouping and ordering by colour or shape.

Beads are small parts, so very young children should use the set only under adult supervision.

Standard Scope of Supply

The set is supplied as described above: tough plastic beads with colourful laces for threading. The listing does not give the number of beads or laces, so the exact contents and any optional storage or additional sets are confirmed on the quotation for your order.

Frequently Asked Questions

What skills does the threading set build?
It develops fine motor control and hand–eye coordination while children practise grouping, ordering, number association and identifying patterns, so it serves both early maths and physical development.

Are the beads durable?
Yes. They are made of tough plastic intended for repeated handling by young children in busy classrooms.

Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Science Lab Supplies manufactures the set in its own factory at Saha, Ambala, India, and deals with schools and distributors directly, so each quotation comes from the maker.

How many beads are in a set?
The count is not fixed in the listing. Tell us how many children will share each set through the contact page, and the quotation will state the contents.
