These are prayer beads for children. They are made with genuine natural stones. The size is suitable for children from around 3 years old to lower elementary school age. The tassels and tsumugi thread are black, but the stones are brown, making them popular for boys. Why not give your child their own set of natural stone prayer beads instead of plastic ones or toy-like ones (*^^*)? It's common for children to borrow their mother's or father's prayer beads, but it is also said that this cultivates a heart of respect for ancestors and the deceased (^_^) They are also recommended for birthdays, entrance ceremonies, and school entrance celebrations★ They can be used for a long time♬ We will cleanse them thoroughly with a crystal cluster before sending them to you☆ ★Stones Used★ Boss/Parent Bead: Smoky Quartz Main Beads: Smoky Quartz Two Heavenly Beads: Crystal #NaturalStone #PrayerBeads #SimplifiedPrayerBeads #Beads #ForChildren #PrayerBeads #MemorialService #Funeral #GraveyardVisit #Formal #Birthstone #December9th #EntranceCelebration
