Prism of fun!
Plastic prism encourages exploration on all five sides. A music box plays and tiny lights flash when a wooden roller is rolled; a bulb lights when a finger is poked into a hole; a tug on a pull-ball produces a buzzing sound; a round plate vibrates when touched. The fifth side has a Velcro-attached, unbreakable plastic mirror which hides the battery compartment. Size: 11" x 14".

Occupational Therapy: Self Dressing Skills: Snakey and the Jumbo Music Block
Children with general developmental delays can be slow to learn to dress themselves. Learning how to dress yourself makes a real difference in the personal independence of a child, but it's not all that easy to learn. A good way to learn is to start by learning how to UNDO on a toy in front of you. Then practice doing the fastenings up. When the oversized fastenings on the toy are mastered, try doing fastenings up on someone else, and only then on yourself, which is hardest. Then watch your child enjoy not needing to ask for help!
