Children relive the wonders of Marcus Pfister's classic tale in a highly enjoyable hands-on activity with The Rainbow Fish Lacing Cards. The set includes a dozen laces in 6 different colors kids use to embellish the 10 gorgeously-illustrated lacing cards that accompany them. The cards, made from thick, durable cardstock, display original scenes from The Rainbow Fish dotted with color-coded holes that communicate which color lace goes where. Kids wend the laces in and out through those holes, creating colorful 3-dimensional effects that enhance the illustrations and seem to bring them to life. Each scene uses two colors of laces, and youngsters, highly motivated by the beautiful results, happily return to the activity again and again. Benefits include development of fine motor skills, manual dexterity and color recognition. Includes 10 lacing cards, 2 sparkly laces, 2 blue laces, 2 pink laces, 2 yellow laces, 2 green laces and 2 purple laces.
