Concepts: Things that Go Together
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
Matching things that go together is a challenging cognitive skill for children with developmental delays to learn. It involves making a leap from, "this ball is the same as this ball", to "the ball and the bat go together". Things That Go Together uses clearly illustrated two piece puzzles to help children master this important developmental concept. The difficulty level can be adjusted by presenting either more or less options. For example: Does the fish go with the fishing rod or the tree? You can keep adding more choices to make the difficulty level match your child's level of learning.

PLAY Tip
One fun game to play with a PhysioBall
Try lying kids on a physiotherapy ball on their tummies. Encourage them to reach up, perhaps to remove magnets from the refrigerator door. Neck, back, stomach, and arm muscles are all strengthened. This is a great exercise for children with low muscle tone!
