Learning ResourcesLink 'N' Learn Links, Bucket of 500 Colors may vary Links, Ages 3+, 1-5/8 x 3/4 in

They child loves it keeps her hands busy and helps with her colors and numbers

I bought this for my special ed classroom for a math manipulative and math games. It works great. It also helps a student who doesn’t like fidgets, but needs something to fidget with instead of picking at fingers/clothes.I use it for a lot of different math games, and for a general manipulative; to count, to add and subtract, length, more/less, sorting, patterns, etc. The possibilities are almost endless! A few of the links were broken, but nothing that alters the usage or anything.We’ve had these in the classroom for almost a month and we use them almost daily. Durability is only time tested, I’ll update with any significant changes.Definitely recommend for math, hands on learning, autism programs, special ed programs, project based learning, STEM/STEAM, and more! Great product!

I love this for my toddler . I work in the education field and love these. I ordered some for my toddler.We been working on our fine motor skills by connecting them together which is great for hand eye coordination. We also been working on classification which we group together the colors and connect those together . This is great for big and small comparisons for who's chain link is bigger . So many amazing things to do with these to teach my toddler . Great busy toy!!!

I bought this for my 4 year old but the 2 year old and even adults enjoy playing with these.A great purchase for homeschooling, preschool prep, or even just as a tool for imaginative play.

Great product for kids of all ages. I purchased this product for residents on a memory care unit in a nursing home. We do color patterns, measuring, "fashionable" jewelry and have a good time with all the other things we can do with the chains. I had my 5-year old son "test" them out before bringing them to work and he loved it so much he has requested I bring them home for him to play with every now and then. There's a lot of different things you can do with these links and they are sturdy enough for all ages.

I pull these out for my 6 & 7 year old for quiet/imaginative play. It's a great option for calming down or transitioning in our home. My kids like to make the longest chains they can, chain things together, they even make little stuffed animal leashes! Really great to get those imaginations and hands working! Good color, strong plastic, handy storage/carrying case! Will be buying a 2nd bucket of links!

This toy can be used in many ways. It does build fine motor skills, but your child not need be too skilled to use it. It can be used as a counting toy, for matching, for pattern making, and for non-standard measurement. Your child will think of many more ideas, but these are mine, as a retired teacher with 43 years experience. This toy has been standard in preschools for many, many years.

I use these links in my birds cage. They are nice colors and seem to be holding up nicely. My bird cage has a play top on it, so I can’t hang toys from the top on the inside. I strung these together and ran them from the top of the side bars, four each way. Now their is plenty of room to attach toys.
