Wooden Lacing Shapes 4 Pieces

The Wooden Lacing Shapes - 4 Piece Set by Commotion is a beautifully crafted tactile resource designed to support fine motor development and early mathematical thinking in young learners. Made from solid beechwood, the set includes four durable geometric blocks - cylinder, cube, triangular prism and octagonal prism - each with smooth, drilled holes and an easy-to-grip wooden threader with laces.

Ideal for early years learning environments, this hands-on activity promotes the development of manual dexterity and hand-eye coordination, while also introducing shape recognition, size comparison and simple counting. As children lace the shapes, they are encouraged to follow steps, describe their actions and explore spatial awareness-strengthening both communication and early numeracy skills in a meaningful and playful context.
