Wow, this is my first post back since August 2019. I'm sure I've lost a lot of followers since then, and may have possible gained some new ones.
I had a major career change in 2022, which I now am in charge of running recreation and sports programs for kids and youth with disabilities. One big thing about this though, is it has changed what I would even mildly want to be interested in (for the better).
For my first article back, I wanted to share some great Christmas gifts under $25 for toddlers. Did you know that around 5-6% of children struggle with fine motor skills, including grasping or eating. Below are five products that would help improve a toddler's fine motor skills, as well as many other age-appropriate skills.
Acacing Montessori Dinosaur
| this dinosaur makes an excellent sorting toy with spikes and all! Kids can
mix the spikes, sort different colours and put them in a row. Kids learn colour
recognition, sorting and counting with this dinosaur.
Susimond Toddler Busy
Board | this busy board is designed with 22 different games, including
zippers, buttons, clocks, weather learning games and so much more! This busy
board is incredible for developing life skills, as well as improve hand-eye
coordination. It is definitely worth the $25.00
Sheirying Dinosaur Building
Block Stacking Toy | these build blocks have a cute shape with both
dinosaurs and animals. With bright colours and lots of ingenious hands-on abilities,
there items are a must-have this holiday season!
LEADSTAR Montessori Wooden
Cheese | this cheese threading toy gives children an incredible opportunity
to develop hand flexibility and hand-eye coordinator through mastering the wood
through the cheese.
Melissa & Doug Primary
Lacing Beads | brightly coloured wooden bead set includes five distinct
shapes that are great for grasping. The lacing beads are great for helping
children develop strong fine motor, cognitive, and visual skills; as well as
hand-eye coordination.
There are many great other products out there, and I would love to share some more! Let me know your thoughts below!
