Sit a toddler or preschooler down with this activity and there is a task they can repeat as often as they like, with no timer, score or reading to hold them back. A parent or teacher can join in and name the colors out loud, turning a solo game into a shared one. Adult supervision is required during play, and because the set contains small parts it must be kept away from children under three years.
This wooden bee game comes as a beehive toy with 7 colored bees and a pair of tweezers. Each bee has a color and each hive cell matches one, so the child picks up a bee with the tweezers and places it in the cell it belongs to, practising grasping, aiming and releasing a small object with control. The bee toy pieces are smooth and sanded. It works at home, in a classroom or at a learning centre, and arrives in its own box as a birthday or holiday present.
