The skilled and coordinated use of two hands/arms/sides of the body at the same time is encouraged and developed as your child plays with and practices these activities.
Popbeads It took us awhile, but we finally found the BEST POPBEADS and they REALLY WORK! All the benefits of the old stand by activity, but made more fun and motivating by the new designs available. These hard to find popbead designs are made in the USA, of high quality plastic. A wonderful activity to address bilateral hand skills, finger strength, and stability of the hand. As with most small items, PFOT provides a recloseable plastic bag, for easier travel in your treatment bag or in backpacks. Three types are available, and all are interconnecting!

Comes with flat laces, travel box, shoe-tying template, and direction sheet. All you do is bring the markers and follow the directions. (Some assembly required.)
