Head Float - Medium
Need at least two more hands? Here is the answer!
Does reflex domination make your child nervous in the water? The comfortable head float means there is no need to manually support your child's head - your hands are free! The superbly designed cushioning system lets the head rest in a neutral position with no pressure on the spinal column. This float aid gives a real feeling of weightless freedom and security in the water. Medium : Child's weight - 40 to 50 lbs. Float size: 18"L x 13"W x 2"T
| C0803-B |
Play Tip!
The material of these floats is the same density of human skin, making the head float comfortable and non-clammy. This is not a life-jacket but will comfortably keep your child's head increasing feelings of security and fun in the water. Try putting water wings on the ankles for an interesting change of position!

PLAY Tip
Occupational Therapy: The Fist Brush
The Fist Brush is one of those good inexpensive adaptations that makes play much more rewarding. It is a must-have basic for children with mild to fairly serious fine motor involvement who primarily use a whole hand grasp. Try matching the brush handle colours to the colours of paint being used to practice colour matching. The right tools make creative play available to all kids.
