A threading toy comprising a wooden pole pierced with large and small holes. Threaded through the large holes is a length of red cord with a black wooden ball at one end forming a 'knot'; and a blue wooden rod forming a 'needle' at the other end. The 'needle' enables a child to thread the red cord easily through the larger holes. Threaded through the smaller holes is a length of green plastic cord, like washing line.
