Beautiful Wooden Pieces, Toddler Loves It
I bought this for my son when he was around 10 months old, but it took until he was around 1 year old for him to actually start lacing the pieces. He's 17 months old now and still enjoys playing with it and throwing the wooden balls around. I love that it's wooden - the wooden pieces are well-made with no sharp edges and the paint has held up incredibly well against a rough toddler. I don't even think any of the paint has chipped. My son loves acorns and stomping on mushrooms so the woodland theme fits him perfectly. The only downside (which is entirely kid-dependent) is that my son loves to put the red and blue balls in his mouth then shoot/pop them out, and acts like it's a game when told to keep them out of his mouth. They're too big for him to swallow and he puts EVERYTHING in his mouth, but I figured I'd mention it if it's a concern. Otherwise, I love this lacing toy!!
