Play Tip!
One of those good inexpensive adaptations that makes play much more rewarding. It is a must-have basic for children with mild to fairly serious fine motor involvement who primarily use a whole hand grasp. Try matching the brush handle colours to the colours of paint being used to practice colour matching. The right tools make creative play available to all kids.

Shape Fitting for Children with Special Needs: Pop goes the Animals!
Pop Up Pets works on two sets of skills, puzzle-fitting and hammering on a set target. The "jumping out of the toy" effect is very motivating. A good feature is the animal heads on the pieces. When they face forward kids know that the pieces will fit into the holes. This is a more advanced shape sorter then the Sound Puzzle Box.
