General Developmental Delay: Hanging On With A Developing Grasp!
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
Children with small hands can wear a Skwish or High Impact Skwish like a bracelet. Children shake their hands, making the beads and bells clack and ring. A good game for children with developing grasps.

Helping Fidgety Kids Sit Still at Circletime
Many children with sensory integration issues have trouble sitting still, in a circle, or in a class. For these kids, a sensory stratagy can help.
,Try letting the child hold "fidget toys" during circle or class. Try a Skwish, a few Wikki Stix, or Strength Putty. All of these toys feature sophisticated designs which do not look out of place in the hands of a school-age child. Save these toys for circle or quiet class time only.
