Shape Fitting for Children with Special Needs: Pop goes the Animals!
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
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.

PLAY Tip
Another fun game to play at home with a PhysioBall
To encourage a child to reach across the midline (reach past the center of their body) try seating them on a physiotherapy ball in the kitchen and ask them to pick large magnetic shapes off of the refrigerator with the far-side hand.
