Attracts kid's attention!
An ingenious toy of dowels, beads, bells and strong elastic cord. Exceptionally light and "grabbable" from any angle. "Skwish" it flat and it bounces right back. Designed for young and children who have low vision or who are just attracted to high impact colors! White, red, and black beads and dowelling create high visual impact. Size: 6".

Play Tip!
Children with small hands can wear a Skwish like a bracelet. Children shake their hands, making the beads and bells clack and ring. A good game for children with developing grasps.

PLAY Tip
Grasping and Writing
Grippers are helpful for children with developmental delays. Grippers serve two purposes. They position the fingers properly around a larger diameter then a regular pencil, and they keep a dropped pen from rolling away. Position them low on the pen/pencil to give the child better control.
