SKILLS AND DEVELOPMENT
Manipulate & Handle
A gravity inspired toy. The balls will descend down the 4 levels as many times as a child wants, encouraging back and forth action. Toddler will rush to pick them up and return them to the track again and again.
Discover & Experiment
A Montessori STEM Approach to Learning- hands-on and learning experiences. Encourage toddler’s dexterity and motor skills development with this whimsical woodland designed ball drop game. The 3 balls pass through the sun and the clouds before gliding through the clear tunnel. Next they ring the little bell and then finally land in the garden forming a caterpillar. The play promotes creativity investigating simple mechanics and recognizing cause-and-effect relationships. Great for problem-solving, hand-eye coordination and cognitive thinking.
Read, Write, Count
Perfect for the young learners! Builds visual tracking skills of movement; by watching each ball roll down, your visual tracking skills develop which are vital to reading and writing in preschool. Toddler tracks slow moving objects from left-to-right and right-to-left.
