Product Description
This Montessori Lacing Activity is a beautifully crafted practical life material designed to support the development of fine motor skills, focus, and hand-eye coordination in young children. The set includes three solid wooden objects—an apple, cheese wedge, and watermelon slice—each featuring smooth holes for threading with an attached cord.
