Review of ALEX® Toys - Early Learning String & Beep 1486B

Customer Ratings:

I bought this for my two year old and we've used it for several skills. Obviously, he does the stringing, but we've also strung it by color of cars, type of cars, and size. He loves to pretend with it around his train track. I've also seen him lining them up by size, color, and function (delivery truck, cars, etc) We continue to get lots of mileage from this toy. However, I should say my son has a passion for vehicles so this was a definite winner in our house. He wouldn't have any interest in doing such things with a regular beading set.

Perfect toy. Has bright colors, is very durable and is a good size for little hands. Love that it isn't electronic or makes noise. Educational, good for stimulating language and fine motor skills.

My son (who got this for his 2nd birthday) seems only interested in cars and trucks, so it's been tough to find toys that will help in his development aside from cars and trucks -but this one has been a hit. He's definitely enjoyed learning the names of all the different vehicles and has also quickly learned how to string them on there. Great for development of some different fine motor skills.

Honest reviews on ALEX® Toys - Early Learning String & Beep 1486B

With J loving cars and anything that "vrooms" I knew these would be a huge hit with sneaky educational value. Upon opening the package...Whoa, smelly..in a I'm quickly made, painted, sprayed, and packaged in China sort of way. I put them up for a bit to let them "off-gas" before we played with them again. He really just drug them all over the wood floors and shrieked with joy as they snaked back and forth. The finish on the vehicles is scratched to high heaven now, which of course, he could care less, but it bothers me. Great idea, cheaply made. Wouldn't recommend. Spring for the Plan Toys lacing beads. Unfortunately, these are curbside as we speak :(

Yes, this toy is everything all the good reviews say. Not at my house, though. This is rated as a 3 year old toy, probably for the small parts warning. I demonstrated this toy once for my 20 month old grandson. He strung the vehicles maybe six times and never looked at the toy again.

I was hoping the skill would challenge him, but guess again, Nana.
