Montessori Threading Activities
Threading requires a child to thread the first bead onto the string. After pulling it all the way to the knotted end, they begin again with the next bead. And so on, until all the beads are on the string.

Threading is an excellent way to strengthen the finger muscles. It helps children develop fine motor skills essential for everyday tasks such as writing, buttoning clothes, and using utensils.
Children can start learning to thread beads as early as 18 months, depending on their interest, but by the age of 3 to 5 years, they can easily thread big beads and a thick thread.
"From three to six years, children have a real ‘sense hunger’, they love to touch things, to fit different shapes together, to grade colours and musical sounds. The material is carefully gradated to satisfy the child’s every need, and once the child has fixed his attention, he becomes a little individual, no longer an imitator." Maria Montessori, Maria Montessori Speaks to Parents
