Abilitations beads set helps improve fine motor abilities, large motor planning, coordination, and eye-hand skill.

The beads are made of foam for durability, and can be strung with a nylon string that includes a rubber-tip handle and stopper bead for ease of use. The beads measure from 2 x 2 inches to 5 x 2-3/4 inches/5.0 x 5.0cm to 13.0 x 7.0cm in diameter (L x W), with hole diameters ranging from 3/4 to 1-1/2 inches/2.0 to 4.0cm (L x W). The nylon string measures 75.0”/191.0cm (L). (L is length, the horizontal distance from left to right; W is width, the horizontal distance from front to back.) Nylon is very strong and flexible, has excellent abrasion resistance, is lightweight, and resists crushing and cracking. The set includes an activity guide with suggestions for use, and may be suitable for special needs, early childhood, and elementary learning environments. The product contains latex.
