Pulling these pop beads apart and interlocking them promotes hand strength and bilateral coordination (using two hands together to complete a task). These are skills that are important for young kids to develop in preparation for adequate fine motor development as they grow.
Why I love this: You can interact with your child by pulling the pop beads from one side and having them pull from the other.
FYI: The snug bugs are soft so your child can also build hand strength by squeezing the individual pieces. Recommended for kids 10 months to 3 years.
