Occupational Therapy: Peekaboo Farm House Small Knob Puzzle
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
This sized puzzle is best for children with mild cognitive and/or fine motor skill delays. Small knobs make removing, manipulating, and placing puzzle pieces much easier to manage. These small knobs require an early two finger pincer grasp to use. It's a good idea to work on taking puzzle pieces out before attempting to place them. The "peek-a-boo" pictures make it more fun to remove pieces. Try guessing what will be found behind the different doors.

PLAY Tip
Practice Visual Tracking With A Bubble Blower!
Try using the bubble blower in a windless environment to provide slow moving bubbles when the child is just beginning to visually track. Later, to make a greater challenge, take it outside on a windy day or run a fan in the room with the blower. Visual tracking is an important precursor skill for reading!
