Object Permanence: Now You See It Now You Don't!
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
Try showing your child a toy and then hiding it in the Whoozit Galaxy Cube or the What Is It? Tactile Discrimination Game. See if they will reach out to try to find it again. This skill is called object permanence and it is an important developmental milestone!

Occupational Therapy: Cut Up Fruits and Vegetables
A great toy for developing good fine motor skills in kids with mild special needs and visual impairments. Try slicing up a nice salad and then see if your child can match up the pieces again! Can your child hold the food with one hand and cut it up using the knife with the other? Many good creative games can be played with these. To add to the fun, add old pots, Tupperware, and kitchen tools.
