Okay, I'd like to try the rope with rings with my trio now that they're two and following directions better. Where is the best place to buy this? TIA.

You can buy one from Lakeshore or any educational supply catalog, but my children use a jumprope with loops knotted.

You could probably get some inexpensive swim toys (diving rings or similar) and loop them through a bit of clothesline.

Jessie-

I made one really easily- just take a thick rope like silk cord from the fabric store, cut it accordingly. Then buy 3 elastic hair scrunchies from the Dollar Store. The frilly fabric covered kind work best. Sew or pin them to the rope and the kids use the scrunchies on their wrists like a bracelet. We have three colors and now they know that they each get to pick where they want to hold.

Try it this way first and you will have spent $5- if the concept works, you can buy the real one.

They have them at Orientaltrading.com pretty cheap.
