Spring-a-ling! Bringing Two Hands Together
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
Perfect for children with fine motor delays and mild Cerebral Palsy. Encourage children to use two hands together. Try first simply shaking the toy. (it has a lovely shaky feel) Then by turning the toy, the child will cause the beads to move. Finally, have the child hold the Spring-a-ling with one hand, and slide the beads with the fingers of the other hand. Take it on long car rides, or for waiting rooms!

To encourage communication and making choices try taking pictures of healthy favourite snacks and putting them in the Whoozit Photo Album. When it's snack time let your child show you what he or she wants!
