    Good set of beads
    4 Stars
    Good set of beads
    These are sturdy wooden beads. They are large enough for my 2 year old to manipulate them and string them up. My 4 year old likes to use the letters to make words. I agree with the other reviewers that the box they come in is a throw-away: it's very, very shallow (just deep enough to contain one layer of the beads, so maybe about 1/4 inch deep) and there's no lid for it. So once you pull off the plastic wrap, the beads will fall out with normal usage by a young child. We dumped all the beads into a plastic bag. So be prepared to find an alternative storage solution for these beads. Oh, also -- about the letter beads: the letters are only printed on 2 sides of each bead (not on all 4 available sides).
