    Boost your child’s grasp of spatial positioning—up, down, front, and back!

    Ideal for children aged 3 to 6, Stringing Board Shapes encourages spatial awareness, fine motor development, and problem-solving. By threading colourful strings through patterned holes on the board, children learn shapes, positioning, and logical thinking.

    What is Stringing Board Shapes?

    Stringing Board Shapes is a thoughtfully designed activity set that includes a durable board with a series of holes, shape challenge cards, and colourful strings. Children follow the visual challenges by threading strings through the holes to form shapes, lines, and patterns. With progressive difficulty levels and over 20 different challenges, this product encourages step-by-step learning while developing critical foundational skills for maths and logic.

    Skills to be developed with Stringing Board Shapes

    • Boosts Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving

      Children practise visual analysis and logical decision-making as they figure out how to recreate each pattern using the strings and board.

    • Improves Fine Motor Skills and Hand-Eye Coordination

      Threading strings through small holes strengthens finger dexterity and coordination - essential for writing and self-care skills like buttoning or using scissors.

    • Enhances Spatial Awareness and Understanding of Position

      As children navigate vertical, horizontal, and diagonal positions on the board, they build strong visual-spatial skills and grasp geometric relationships.

    How to use Stringing Board Shapes

    • 1. Choose a Challenge Sheet

      Select one of the A5 activity sheets and place it near the board. Start with the easier patterns (No.1–12) and work your way up to more complex designs.

    • 2. Challenge Yourself with Two Strings (Questions 13-15)

      • Move on to problems 13 through 15 on the sheet.
      • For these questions, you will need to use two strings to replicate the example patterns.
    • 3. Create Geometric Shapes (Questions 16-20)

      • Finally, tackle problems 16 through 20.
      • These problems involve creating various geometric shapes using the strings.
    • 4. Talk and Play Together

      Once they've completed the 22 set challenges, let your child use the triangle pieces freely to build their own designs. Use simple language to describe what they’re building - “You made a square using two triangles!” This reinforces vocabulary and shape recognition. They can recreate images from the sheets or invent entirely new ones, boosting creativity and imagination.
