Colour Beads and Laces

The Polydron Colour Beads and Laces set is a fun, hands-on resource designed to teach young learners foundational patterning, sequencing, and colour recognition skills. With vibrant, easy-to-handle components, this set supports early maths learning and fine motor development through threading and matching activities. The work cards are colour-coded to indicate three levels of difficulty, allowing educators to differentiate learning and support each child at their developmental stage. Children are encouraged to analyse each sequence and place the missing bead(s) to complete the pattern - an engaging and educational way to build logical thinking.

Ideal for use in early learning classrooms or at home, this set provides a multi-sensory approach to learning, combining visual cues with physical action. It's a wonderful way to build the foundational cognitive and motor skills that underpin later maths, literacy, and problem-solving tasks.

Educational Benefits:

• Develops pattern recognition and sequencing for early maths concepts
