Faerly
threading game

The Faerly® threading game is a versatile educational toy that supports children from the age of two in their motor and cognitive development. The 60 colourful wooden beads with German and English words playfully promote fine motor skills and language development. High-quality materials such as water-lacquered wooden beads and soft, hard-wearing threads make the threading game safe and durable. The practical storage box makes it easy to transport and store, making the toy ideal for travelling.

A small disadvantage is the limited range of uses, as it is mainly limited to threading and sorting and could be less exciting for older children. The storage box is also made of low-quality plastic, which can limit its longevity. Nevertheless, the threading game is an educational and high-quality toy that perfectly combines fun and learning.

  • Promotes fine motor skills and cognitive development
  • Safe and high-quality materials

Packaging and contents

Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The Faerly® threading game fulfils the expectations of a child-friendly and educationally valuable toy. Children can operate it effortlessly and without help, which emphasises its user-friendliness. The threads have proven themselves in stress tests: They retain their shape and strength, and no parts such as the wooden ends have come loose – a crucial safety aspect. The knots in the cords hold well so that, for example, one end of the cord can be knotted to hold the beads in place, enabling a wide range of play options.

The product also impresses when it comes to care: the wooden beads and cords are easy to clean and very low-maintenance. However, there are slight deductions when it comes to ease of storage – although all the parts fit easily into the box supplied, this is made of thin plastic, which is less stable and can bend easily.

The toy offers many opportunities for interaction. Children can play with each other or interact with adults, whether it’s learning the German and English terms on the back of the figures or solving small maths problems. Overall, the Faerly® threading game scores points for its functionality, safety and well thought-out design, even if the stability of the storage box could be improved.
