DJ2 asked:

When I was little I had these large wooden beads with large holes that came with a yellow shoelace like string to string them on. They were large beads with big holes ranging from the size of a large marble to a golf ball. We are looking for something similar to help our son with finger dexterity. Most of what we have seen are too small. Any suggestions or links? Thanks!!
