A great cup-skills teaching reward!
Our innovative new Cup Detector is a terrific training toy. Made from durable plastic, the inside of the cup detector is rimmed with guiding yellow lights. When a cup is place correctly on the circle, four rewarding bright lights on the outer rim illuminate while music plays.

Play Tip!
Teaching children with special needs good eating and drinking skills is important to do from the start - a bad habit can be very hard to break! To teach putting the cup back at the correct place on the table just put the Cup Detector where you want the cup to go and watch children eagerly put their cup there to get the reward of lights and music. This can easily be taken to school or daycare to help teach the skill across many settings.

PLAY Tip
Pon Pon: Sensory Integration, Balance and Coordination
A great indoor/outdoor toy, especially for children with mild balance and coordination issues or general developmental delays. Start with simply bouncing in place and then work up to real bouncing. The strong kinesthetic stimulation can help some children with autism "click" into attentiveness. Good for indoor winter exercise in cold northern climes.
