does anyone have lacing card recommendations? i was going to do our own but tbh i can't be bothered cutting them out and trying to find the hole punch OR buying laces, i would rather just get some pretty ones.

do you think 20 months is too young for them? i think they would be right up elijah's street as he loves tinkering with things and poking things through holes etc, not sure if they will be a bit frustrating?

This one looks reasonable

On ebay but so make sure it isnt just a photo you bidding on!

Oh and I had totally forgot about those types of toys! Also the plastic coloured bobbins (?) and laces, or the pegs in holes, argh or those plastic net like boards you clicked coloured bendy plastic pieces into - wtf were they???

haha or just the bit of string!!

oh, the bead board things? yeah they still have those its a brand name now, dunno what. you get big plastic buttons and stuff too to thread stuff into and tie together and stuff. 'weird and a bit educational' seems to be the section i need to look under

this one looks cute but i want to see the actual things!
