Object Permanence: Now You See It Now You Don't!
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
Try showing your child a toy and then hiding it in the Whoozit Galaxy Cube or the What Is It? Tactile Discrimination Game. See if they will reach out to try to find it again. This skill is called object permanence and it is an important developmental milestone!

Sensory Integration: Accessible Tactile Stimulation
Children who are tactile defensive can benefit from playing with the three gentle stimulation choices offered on the Visual & Hearing Impaired Activity Center. Children have total control over which stimulus they activate and how long it operates. The soothing nature of the stimulation makes this toy more inviting to a tactile-defensive child then "messy" and "sticky" sensations. A good introduction to tactile stimulation.
