Sofia the First wooden bead set by Melissa & Doug is meant for 4+ years old kids.  Kruti was able to create necklaces using cords and beads.  I was amazed by how Kruti was able to manage beads into the thread with her tiny fingers.  Teaching her once and doing it by herself can set an example that she can learn quickly.  Indeed, Kruti had so much fun making beautiful necklaces.
