Fine motor with beads and shoestrings

This is one of David's favorite regulars.  One shoe string with a knot tied at the edge and some more colorful beads that he threads onto the shoe string. As he gets better I use smaller and smaller beads, and have also started using a longer shoe string (I used to keep it shorter when he was first starting out) so that he can practice extending his arms to get the bead down to the very end.  Count 'em when you're finished!
