Improves memory and hand-eye co-ordination

Perfect for children and adults who have limited motor control, vision, hearing or cognitive skills, the fun shape puzzle is a wonderful toy and teaching device all in one. The "Brain" teaches cause and effect, fine motor skills, eye-hand coordination, spatial concepts and more. Each colorfully-painted wooden shape piece can be put into any of nine different places on the board. The user receives instant rewards for successfully completing the tasks. Internal tones or small vibrations are given for following the sequence correctly. You can easily customize the puzzle to the needs and abilities of the user, starting with one or two shapes and building to a sequence of shapes. By gradually increasing the challenge, you'll reinforce the user's memory skills, counting skills, listening skills and ability to follow directions.

Play Tip PLAY Tip

Spring-a-ling! Bringing Two Hands Together

Perfect for children with fine motor delays and mild Cerebral Palsy. Encourage children to use two hands together. Try first simply shaking the toy. (it has a lovely shaky feel) Then by turning the toy, the child will cause the beads to move. Finally, have the child hold the Spring-a-ling with one hand, and slide the beads with the fingers of the other hand. Take it on long car rides, or for waiting rooms!
