The World of Eric Carle(TM) The Very Hungry Caterpillar(TM) Lacing Cards

I bought these lacing cards for my grand-daughter for her third birthday, as The Very Hungry Caterpillar is one of her favourite stories. They arrived promptly and well wrapped and were met with great enthusiasm from the birthday girl! They are brightly coloured and very sturdy, so should last well. Within minutes of unwrapping the cards, myself, my son and the b girl were all happily sitting together, threading away! :D I have been told, they are now a firm favourite so, all in all, a lovely present for a reasonable price!

This is a nice introduction to threading and sewing that I've enjoyed with my two-year-old. It hasn't become one of her go-to toys but it's a good one nevertheless. The illustrations are beautiful with very vibrant colours, just as they appear in the pictures. Each card is thick and robust enough to withstand an enthusiastic toddler where flimsier games and puzzles have suffered. The only thing letting this down very slightly is the packaging -- putting it away involves sliding it into a plastic sleeve which is a bit of a squeeze. Not enough to lose a star though.

The lacing cards are made from durable & wipe able card. Each card is one of the images from the story, tiny caterpillar, fat caterpillar, sun, orange and the other fruits. The laces included are various colours that match the cards.

The pictures really capture my 3 year olds attention. And she's able to thread a little bit. The threads do twist a bit so you have to be careful to make sure they are lying flat each time you them through a hole. The other thing that bothers me slightly is that some cards have an odd number of holes so you end up with one end of the string at the front of the picture when finished, which is not ideal. I mean, you could skip a hole to get around it, so it's not the end of the world. All in all though, they're lovely cards and I'd buy them again.

These are so good for keeping toddler entertained! She loves pushing them through the holes and has kept her busy for ages

Lovely lacing cards nice and big for little hands. Colours and picture are bright and the holes aren’t too small!

Daughter loves this game! Good for fine motor skills and keeps her entertained for a good amount of time. Would make a lovely gift.

Well made cards and threading laces, easy to use and she soon learnt to sew!

Great quality

The children loved it in the class.
