Wooden Lacing Puzzle with Magnets LEANToys 22028 — Animal Shapes, Threading Toy for Fine Motor Skills

LEANToys Wooden Lacing Puzzle model 22028 is an educational threading toy shaped as a set of animal figures with integrated magnets to simplify handling. The product combines traditional lacing activity with magnetic connection points so children can practice threading, aligning pieces and briefly securing parts together. The design focuses on developing fine motor skills, hand–eye coordination and concentration during preschool play, early learning or guided classroom exercises.

Advantages

The wooden construction provides a stable, tactile surface that is comfortable to hold and resistant to minor impacts. Magnetic elements reduce frustration during assembly by allowing pieces to attach easily while still requiring precise finger movements for threading. The animal shapes introduce visual variety and help maintain engagement without adding complex mechanisms. The set supports repeated use in individual play or group activities and is compatible with common laces or strings used for threading toys.

Suitable for

• Preschool and kindergarten fine motor skill development
• Hand–eye coordination and concentration exercises
• Classroom activity stations and small-group learning
• Home practice of threading and basic problem-solving

Key specifications

• Material: solid wood with painted finish and integrated magnets
• Product type: lacing/threading toy with magnetic attachment
• Design: multiple animal-shaped wooden pieces
• Included accessories: laces/strings suitable for threading (where provided by pack)
• Recommended age range: preschool children (suitable for early childhood development)

How to use

Place the animal-shaped pieces on a flat surface and give the child the lace or string. Show how to thread the lace through the holes in each wooden piece, guiding initial hand placement and motion to help the child learn the sequence. Magnetic points allow pieces to snap together for easier handling; encourage the child to both thread and connect pieces magnetically to practice different coordination skills. Supervise use to ensure correct threading and to prevent putting small parts in the mouth.

Usage recommendations

Use the toy during short practice sessions of 10–15 minutes to build fine motor skills gradually. Combine with verbal instructions or counting to reinforce concentration and sequencing. Inspect the wooden pieces and laces periodically for wear and replace the lace if frayed. Keep the toy away from very young children unsupervised due to small magnetic components.
