Bubble Tumblers can help develop self-feeding skills
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
One way to help kids develop good self-feeding skills is to offer play activities that build the fine motor skills needed when eating.
,A child playing with a No-Spill Bubble Tumbler is using the same motions that are needed handling cutlery. The motions mimic bringing food to the mouth, and by blowing bubbles, the child develops more controlled mouth movement.
,Plus, you get all those pretty bubbles!

PLAY Tip
Visual Stimulation and Cause and Effect In One Toy!
The Switch Adapted Graphics Mobile clamps onto more then just cribs! Try clamping the mobile onto the back of a stable chair and positioning it over a child lying on the floor. For a change, unhook the cards and add your own special objects. Try holographic pictures, shiny ribbons, tinsel, leaves, or anything that strikes your fancy!
