Learning and recognizing capital letters will become a fun activity with these chunky, brightly-colored beads. The large stringing holes located in each letter are easy for little hands to practice fine motor skills while recognizing the shapes and sounds of each letter, as well as sight words when a few are strung together. These beads can also be used for sorting, alphabetizing, color recognition, and art projects. They work great with lots of different stringing materials including string and wire. 7/8″ (2 cm).
