{"product_id":"colour-beads-and-laces-sequencing","title":"Colour Beads and Laces - Sequencing","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdeal 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEducational Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelops pattern recognition and sequencing for early maths concepts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnhances fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination through threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePromotes colour recognition and early categorisation skills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilds concentration, logical reasoning, and task completion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClassroom Activity Ideas:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSort beads by colour before beginning a patterning activity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChallenge children to create their own patterns and test each other using the laces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse work cards as visual prompts during independent learning stations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncorporate verbal prompts and storytelling to connect colours and sequences with language\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSafety \u0026amp; Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for ages 3 years and over\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes:\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e96 square beads (each approx. 2.5(L) x 2.5(H) x 2.5(W) cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 laces (each approx. 30(L) cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18 double-sided work cards with 3 levels of difficulty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade from high quality, non-toxic plastic and child-safe materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for safe use in early learning environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Modern Teaching Aids NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42238317035633,"sku":"ZZ0045","price":99.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/7633\/6753\/files\/zz0045_colour-beads-and-laces_v1_4.webp?v=1760000824","url":"https:\/\/teaching.co.nz\/products\/colour-beads-and-laces-sequencing","provider":"Modern Teaching Aids NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
