Threading worm with wooden needle
Look who's wriggling around! This cheerful wooden worm is waiting to be decorated with needle and thread.
Threading and sewing are excellent fine motor activities that help children develop their manual dexterity step by step. This threading worm has large, clearly visible holes in its body, a sturdy thread, and a wooden needle that fits comfortably in small hands. This way, young children can quickly learn how to work together with both hands to thread the thread through the holes.
- Stimulates fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination
- Increases spatial insight and concentration
- Promotes two-handed cooperation
- Helps with planning and following a pattern (executive functions)

First, they can thread the yarn crisscross through the holes – just explore and have fun! Then, children can try to follow a pattern or thread the yarn back in the correct order. This makes the game not only repeatable but also increasingly challenging.
Tip: try stringing beads on the back, like a dragon

A simple activity with a big learning effect – string, practice and be proud of the result!
