Description

Introduce your child to hands-on learning with the Wooden Lacing Apple Toy, a Montessori-inspired fine motor puzzle that’s as charming as it is educational. Shaped like a bright red apple with a playful caterpillar “eating” its way through, this sturdy wooden toy encourages toddlers to thread the string through each hole — building hand-eye coordination, concentration, and dexterity with every move.

Crafted from eco-friendly wood and painted with safe, non-toxic water-based colors, it’s smooth to the touch and perfectly sized for small hands. Ideal for independent or parent-guided play, this lacing apple helps little ones practice patience, develop fine motor control, and explore early problem-solving skills — the Montessori way.

Lightweight and portable, it’s also a wonderful travel companion for road trips, flights, or quiet moments at home.
