Play Tip!
Children who do not move around independantly face a real challenge in learning to localize touch and find their bodies in space - important sensory integration skills. Try putting the vibrating pillow against different parts of the body. When children activate the switch, the tactile feedback helps them "find" their hands, feet, knees, backs, and more!

PLAY Tip
Bead Mazes perfect for children with Down Syndrome or Visual Impairments
Learning only happens when a child is interested enough to WANT to participate. Bead mazes teach a huge variety of skills. (cognitive, motor, perceptual, and language) but their true strength is the excellent play value kids find in these open-ended toys. This style is best for children with mild to moderate fine motor delays, and is especially suitable for low vision and blind children.
