Masterkidz STEM Wall Lacing Pegs - 200 Pieces

The Masterkidz STEM Wall Lacing Pegs & Strings Set offers a dynamic and interactive way for children to explore patterning, design, and spatial relationships. This engaging 260-piece set includes 200 durable plastic lacing pegs and 30 colourful 1-metre-long lacing strings in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Designed to work with the Masterkidz STEM Wall (sold separately), this versatile resource allows children to build geometric shapes, letters, numbers, or creative artworks by inserting the pegs and threading the laces between them.

The pegs are made from UV- and water-resistant plastic, ensuring long-lasting durability for indoor and outdoor use. Their rounded tops allow for easy handling, while the firm structure ensures they stay securely in place once inserted. The brightly coloured lacing strings are ideal for indoor use and provide an exciting opportunity for children to engage in activities that support creativity, hand-eye coordination, and early literacy and numeracy development.

This open-ended set encourages children to explore problem-solving and goal setting in a playful and collaborative environment. The large quantity of materials supports individual and group work, making it perfect for classrooms and learning centres. Educators can integrate these components into lessons across various learning areas including mathematics, art, and physical coordination.

Educational Benefits:

• Promotes early mathematics and literacy concepts through shape-building, number formation, and letter tracing.
• Develops fine motor control, bilateral coordination, and hand-eye coordination through lacing activities.
• Encourages experimentation, persistence, and visual-spatial reasoning as children plan and construct unique designs.
• Supports social development and communication as students collaborate on large-scale projects or shared problem-solving tasks.
