This means all players have to take one more tile from the centre "bunch". This continues until all the tiles are gone.

These new range of early logical thinking toys provides the opportunity for developing concentration, sequencing, visual and spatial perception and problem solving all within a 3 dimensional environment. In the trend of moving play towards 2 dimensional experiences - puzzles, books and screens - the need to have greater opportunities for 3 dimensional play is even more important. It provides better learning opportunities visually, to develop sequencing, and motor planning, all key skills necessary to prepare the brain to learn the literacy and numeracy skills children are presented with in early school years.

Paint using finger paints, shaving cream or roll sausages of playdoh and lay them into the stencil shape or of course use them with more traditional pencil or texta. Using tactile and/or movement approaches to letter formation taps a greater range of nervous system inputs making it easier for the brain to retain the information.

Children can position themselves in different rooms, indoors or outdoors in any play environment and hold discussions with a partner they cannot see! The voice comes through the tubing beautifully and has a real feeling of a 'telephone sound to it'. Great for garden/playground use and the tubing can be buried underground or in sand for added effect. Handsets can be used alone to help children to hear themselves and can be removed from the tubing for easy cleaning. A fantastic tool to develop language and communication skills as well as encourage social interaction.
Exploring this tool in the clinic has also shown it to be a novel option to support engagement between children or between a child and an adult to support the development of reciprocal conversations and social/emotional engagement. If a motor challenge is added to the conversation the tube also allows the development of motor planning or praxis on verbal command, that is the processing of language into motor actions, an essential skill for learning from classroom information.
Set includes 2 handsets and 3 metres of communication tubing.

WhisperPhone is an acoustical voice-feedback headset that enables learners of all ages to focus and hear the sounds that make up words (phonemes) more clearly as they learn to read, spell, or process language aloud.
The adult WhisperPhone is a great tool for speech training, literacy, vocal training, performing arts, and learning new languages.
WhisperPhone - The Revolutionary New Learning Tool! The WhisperPhone enables children to hear phonemes ten times more clearly as they learn to read, spell, or process language aloud! This product conveys a child's voice directly into his or her dominant ear. When language enters directly into the dominant ear and at an improved Signal-to-Noise (S/N) ratio, Auditory Discrimination is improved and language is processed more efficiently.
It's also hands free so enables children to focus on holding their book or using their finger to visually track words to assist.
Since the auditory feedback is provided directly back to their ear children hear at a "whisper" vocal volume so this item could be used by an entire class without interfering with each others reading. Combines the quietness or lack of auditory interference that silent reading provides while combining it with the enhanced reading development that reading out loud provides.
