Aunt Ana Paula bought the girls a Melissa and Doug wooden jewelry bead kit many, many moons ago, and it has never gotten old for them.  The pieces are easy to store in this little tray, and are a perfect size for little fingers to thread.  Not too easy, not too difficult.  I only wish it had a top, but even without one, I don’t think we’ve lost a piece.  They never seem to mind that late at night, a magical fairy undoes their work and stores it away, waiting to be started fresh at a later time.
