Additional Information:
J (2Y4M28D) tried this activity for the first time today. He was a little frustrated initially and was able to give up. I then left the room to fetch the camera. By the time I returned, he had managed to thread the bell. It was good without me around to interfere with his work :-) With initial success, he got more motivated. He went on to complete threading all 10 bells. J enjoyed this activity rather well, and I intend to repeat it in 2 weeks' time.
