Beads, Bobbles and Laces
Product Code : LSK-ML-10096
Beads, Bobbles and Laces (SKU LSK-ML-10096) is a threading set of tough plastic beads with colourful strings. Young learners thread and move the beads to build fine motor skills while developing early maths ideas: grouping, ordering, matching beads to numbers and recognising patterns. It suits pre-primary, early-years and special-needs classrooms. The set is manufactured by Science Lab Supplies, a school laboratory equipment supplier in India, at its Plot 448 factory in the HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, which quotes schools, contractors and distributors directly.
Specifications
What the threading set contains and develops is laid out one row at a time below. In short, tough plastic beads go with colourful strings that can double as sorting categories, and the threading itself calls for a steady pincer grip and hand–eye coordination at the earliest stages of maths learning.

Applications and Experiments for Beads, Bobbles and Laces
Threading is a hands-on way into number: a child strings five beads and says five, copies a red-blue-red pattern, or sorts beads by colour before counting each group. These maths lab manipulatives link physical play with the counting and pattern skills that early-years curricula expect.
- Pre-primary fine motor practice: threading and pincer grip.
- Counting and one-to-one number association, extended on the 120 Number Board.
- Copying, continuing and creating repeating patterns.
- Grouping and ordering by colour or shape, then matching colour groups with Dominoes Colour.
Beads are small parts, so very young children should use the set only under adult supervision.

Frequently Asked Questions
What skills does the threading set build?
It develops fine motor control and hand–eye coordination while children practise grouping, ordering, number association and identifying patterns, so it serves both early maths and physical development.
Are the beads durable?
Yes. The beads are made of tough plastic, and the strings are colourful, so the set stands up to young children threading, sorting and counting with it during maths lessons.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Threading sets like this one are produced at Science Lab Supplies' own Saha, Ambala factory in India, so schools and distributors deal with the manufacturer, and each quotation is sent out by the company.
How many beads are in a set?
The bead and lace count is confirmed on the quotation. Tell us how many children will share each set through the contact page, and the quotation will state the contents to match.
