Chicken Socks - Amazing Lacing
BKS074S

Kids' lacing activities have been around for generations but Chicken Socks have worked with early education specialists and genuine young kids to brainstorm ideas for each page. They commissioned their best illustrators to do glowing, full-colour work. And, finally, hunted around to find the coolest lacing material on the planet (no boring shoelaces need apply). The result? A long-overdue update on a classic activity. A tried-and-true play pattern made better. An imaginative and beautiful lacing book. Amazing. Comes with punched, die-cut pages for easy lacing and 10 easy-to-use laces in a variety of materials and colours.

Chicken Socks - Crayon Rubbings
BKS055S

Imagine taking a regular old boring colouring book and slipping pieces of super-bumpy sand paper between the pages. Now use special sparkly crayons to do your colouring. The results are multi-dimensional, multi-cool, multi-bump crayon rubbings. Sand papers are durable plastic designed with stars, swirls, waves and other cool textures. 'Crayon Rubbings' comes complete with eight different kinds of plastic rubbing textures and 36 pages of colour-them-yourself pictures. It's art that goes bumpity bump bump, right off the page.

The small muscles of the fingers are highly dependent upon feedback from the tactile (touch) system in order to function with speed and control. The additional touch feedback provided through the "bumping" of rubbing over the textured plate gives these muscles important feedback to help them develop. This in turn will help the child develop a more functional and effective grasp and fine motor skill as they develop.

Day and Night

The puzzles then become harder with 24 challenges that illustrates just the silhouette of the image which needs to be built, therefore requiring a more advanced level of perception and recognition from the player.

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.

Fanta Color Portable Pegs 300 pieces
FMS043ID

Children will have fun creating beautiful mosaics by inserting pegs into the pegboard. While developing their hand-to-eye coordination children can have fun inventing their own designs or follow examples shown. To undo a design turn the pegboard over and push the pegs directly back into the case. What could be easier?

Use the game further by having the children hold a few of the pieces in their hand at a time while they work. This will help them develop their division of the hand (keeping little and ring finger flexed into the palm while working or performing skilled actions with the thumb index and middle fingers) an important pre-requisite skill for developing a mature pencil grasp.

Everything is kept in one compact carry-case: pegs go inside, pegboard locks on top - easy to carry and perfect for travel.

Includes 300 pegs in 2 shapes.

Manufacturer recommends age 4+
