Note: Review only, product no longer for sale.
Ideal for scrubbing the back and lower extremities when showering or bathing.
Ideal for scrubbing the back and lower extremities when showering or bathing. People having a reduced range of motion will find it a more comfortable method of washing. Its replaceable two-sided sponge, 3 3/4" (95 mm) diameter, is mounted at an angle to the 22" (56 cm) long handle. The sponge swivels to follow body contours. The model with the curved handle allows use without raising the hand much higher than the shoulder. The handles can be modified to other angles by heating with a hair dryer or heat gun at a low setting.

PLAY Tip
Why do they put everything in their mouths?
One of the earliest fine moter skill children develop is the skill of "sensation". Sensation is the skill we use to tell the difference between a quarter and a dime by touch without needing to look at the coins.
Cognitively young children have their best sensation descrimination in their mouths. By mouthing objects and then feeling them with their hands, children correlate the sensations from two different sensory input channels.
,This "sensory intgration" helps them to tune up the sensory apparatus in the hands. As the hands become more sensitive, children will need to put things in their mouths less and less.
During this oral stage it is important to offer many textured grasp and handle toys. Dragonfly offers a full collection of well designed and easy to handle toys of this type.
