Further to previous comments, I bought this game, saying he would be perfect for my 15 month. Indeed pearls are ideally large for her, without risk of swallowing them. It was enough to show him that she understands the trick, and it arrives perfectly beading. Then I just tie a knot and she is very proud to pavanner with her necklace. I think this is a perfect game for fine motor skills and concentration. I think later colors and different shapes can be tri games. Very good quality / price ratio.
