Plan Toys Lacing Beads

Lacing beads are one of my favorite toys for keeping my toddler busy.  Endlessly stringing and dumping beads is excellent for small motor skills, concentration and eventually for pattern-making skills.  As always, these wooden lacing beads from Plan Toys are of an excellent quality.  Even the smallest bead is fairly large, measuring 1.5 inches in diameter. One set includes two laces and 30 wooden beads in six different shapes and colors. 

About Plan Toys
Plan Toys is the ultimate green toy company, and has been manufacturing toys since 1981 with the twin goals of social responsibility and sustainable environmental practices. Each Plan toy is made from organic rubberwood that is kiln-dried instead of chemically treated. Kiln-drying is a time-consuming, preservative-free process that maintains the natural integrity of the rubberwood and avoids hazardous residues from traditional chemical treatments. Only rubber trees that are no longer able to produce latex are harvested for Plan Toys.

nstead of using traditional toxic wood glue, Plan has developed a completely formaldehyde-free glue. Plan Toys are finished with non-toxic, water based dyes that contain no heavy metals and are safe for young children. Even their packaging is recycled and printed with soy and water-based inks for environmental reasons, and their manufacturing plants run on alternative energy sources! With numerous international awards for quality management (ISO 9001), toy safety (ASTM & EN71), environmental management (ISO 14001) and social accountability (SA 8000), Plan Toys is safe, smart and good.
