Play Tip!
These crayons are perfect for children who are starting to use a more advanced finger-thumb opposed grasp. A great feature of these crayons is that they can produce a good line with faint pressure - yet they won't break if a child bangs them. They are excellent quality with strong true colour. Of course they are non-toxic, although kids should not snack on them! They are not washable so you don't want them used on the walls.

Hydrotherapy: Taking Non-Swimmers Swimming on a Sectional Raft!
If your child gets cold because part of his or her torso is above the waterline, get a towel wet and lay it over the exposed part. Your child will feel more comfortable. Pick the Sectional Raft for children (or adults) with poor or no neck and upper body control who will be in the water but not "swimming".
