Help your pre-schooler discover patterns through colourful, hands-on play.

Bead Towers is a fun threading activity that encourages children to copy and continue simple repeating patterns using colourful beads. As children build each tower, they'll develop pattern recognition, sequencing skills and the ability to predict what comes next, while strengthening fine motor skills through hands-on play. 

Simple to set up and easy to adapt, you'll receive a parent-friendly guide with clear instructions, practical learning tips and ideas to extend the play as your child's confidence grows. The activity is designed to be flexible. Use beads, buttons, pasta, cereal hoops or whatever you already have at home, threading them onto dry spaghetti or similar alternatives.
