Physical Therapy: The Bolster Pony with Mobile Base
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
Children with Cerebral Palsy often have problems with abduction or scissoring" of the legs. Most positioners are boring and confining. Not the Bolster Pony though! Try setting up an indoor obstacle course with soft pillows to ride the pony through. It adds fun to the physical therapy workout!

Shape Fitting for Children with Special Needs: Pop goes the Animals!
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.
