Easy to reach from a side-lyer!
For children on a Side-Lyer, reaching out can be frustrating. This brightly-colored toy makes it fun! The panel vibrates and lights-up when lightly touched and the ball chains provide wonderful sensations.

Play Tip!
Tip! The Sidelyer Toy can also be used with children with disabilities lying on a wedge. It encourages them to really reach out forward building upper body strength and control.

Occupational Therapy: Peekaboo Farm House Small Knob Puzzle
This sized puzzle is best for children with mild cognitive and/or fine motor skill delays. Small knobs make removing, manipulating, and placing puzzle pieces much easier to manage. These small knobs require an early two finger pincer grasp to use. It's a good idea to work on taking puzzle pieces out before attempting to place them. The "peek-a-boo" pictures make it more fun to remove pieces. Try guessing what will be found behind the different doors.
