Trace-the-8's
~~$44.95~~ $42.95 On Sale!
X5002
TRACE-THE-8’S is a fun and engaging activity designed to be used with children or adults. It works on ocular-motor skills, midline crossing, laterality, eye-hand coordination and brain integration. This classic therapeutic activity has been totally re-imagined, wildly expanding its therapeutic range!

Set includes 10 fully laminated charts of increasing complexity, 2 dry erase markers and an eraser. Charts are meant to be used in a variety of ways and in various positions and orientations. Also comes with an Info Sheet outlining how to use, skills addressed, suggested variations, care and maintenance.

The most basic pattern of tracing starts with the marker at the center point of the smallest figure, moving up and to the left, following along until the entire figure 8 has been traced. Continue working, one by one, out until the largest figure 8 is traced. It is intended to be done slowly, fluidly and with a fair amount of accuracy. If needed start the tracing with only a finger.

As the charts begin to include letters, shapes, numbers and words, ask the user to say each one out loud as they pass by it in their tracing. To concentrate on visual scanning skills, have them point to or circle certain shapes, letters, words etc. as instructed.

Designed to be used in schools, clinics or at home. A great workout for those skills needed to improve copying from the board; handwriting (especially those letters with diagonals), and reading along a line.

Better Bumpy Paper: Coloring Books
We have begun referring to these as the “sky high” coloring books. That’s because the raised outlines of the drawings are the highest we have ever seen. This provides the greatest quanity of tactile input and the greatest deterrent to coloring outside the lines. Wonderfully successful for children with poor coordination, sensory irregularities and/or low vision. Level one books are simplier with a single object to color. Level 2 pictures are more complex and scene-like.

Light-Up Pen - NEW lower price!
$3.00
W26935
This clear pen with the blue crystal ball may be just the motivator you have been missing for improving writing endurance and adjusting writing pressure. With too much pressure the light in the end of the pen stays on. With too little pressure it does not come on at all. With typical variations of pressure the light will flash on and off. For those students who write too lightly, ask them to keep the light on as they write or draw. If they tend to push too hard, ask them to not let the light come on at all. The light provides immediate feedback as to what the hand is doing. For some people the tactile feedback is not enough. But either way, kids love writing with this odd looking pen, so try ‘em, you’ll like ‘em and your students may just write better with ‘em! (Sold individually- not in a set)
