Large Sorting Threading Fruit 23 Pieces

This delightful 23-piece Threading Fruit Set brings a fun and engaging way for children to practise fine motor skills, colour recognition, and early patterning. The set includes 20 brightly coloured wooden fruits: 4 each of bananas, apples, oranges, melon pieces, and plums — all designed with playful character and easy-to-thread shapes. Two wooden threaders with cord allow for collaborative or solo play, making the set ideal for individual exploration or small group work. Children can sort, count, and thread the fruits in any sequence, supporting the development of logic and concentration. A handy pull-close fabric bag is included for convenient storage and transport. With their cheeky designs and tactile feel, these threading fruits offer open-ended learning through play, while also promoting social interaction and communication when used in pairs. The natural timber finish adds a sensory richness to the experience, encouraging hands-on discovery and imaginative play.
