Playing with skeins of yarn

Offer your kid to play with balls of yarn - it is beneficial for developing fine motor skills, coordination, good eye, patience and perseverance.

You'll need various skeins of yarn - woolen, cotton, thin and thick, large and small, of various colors.

Arrange with the skeins the following games:


  • sort them by color;
  • sort them by size;
  • using the skeins, solve simple math problems;
  • unwind the skeins and then wind the threads again;
  • make various patterns of threads, etc.

The yarns should be thick enough, so that they couldn't harm and cut your baby's little fingers. Playing with threads must be arranged only under adult supervision!

Invent your own games and play with the little one!

Make photos of the process, upload to the App. Write about your kid's impressions.
