Swivel Back Scrubber - Curved Handle
Ideal for scrubbing the back and lower extremities when showering or bathing.
Ideal for scrubbing the back and lower extremities when showering or bathing. People having a reduced range of motion will find it a more comfortable method of washing. Its replaceable two-sided sponge, 3 3/4" (95 mm) diameter, is mounted at an angle to the 22" (56 cm) long handle. The sponge swivels to follow body contours. The model with the curved handle allows use without raising the hand much higher than the shoulder. The handles can be modified to other angles by heating with a hair dryer or heat gun at a low setting.

PLAY Tip
Getting a good grip on crayons
If your child holds crayons clenched in a fist while coloring, try giving Chubbi Stump Crayons or Paint Sticks instead of long crayons. The short thick shape promotes the use on a tripod (three fingered) grasp.
You can encourage the use of a mature wrist position by having the child draw on an upright easel.
