Draw in the Tub by Alex

Make bath time more fun with these bathtub crayons!

Why I love this: Drawing on a vertical surface (bath wall) encourages proper pencil grasp.

FYI: Ages 3 years and up.

Kanoodle

One of my long time favorites! Pick a challenge from the booklet provided, copy the arrangement of the noodles from the booklet, then try to fill in the remaining noodles inside the board so that they all fit (sounds easier than it is). Also comes with 3D pyramid challenges that you can build on the back of the game.

Why I love this: Besides being a lot of fun and motivating, this game promotes visual perception, visual spatial skills, problem solving and fine motor skills.

FYI: Ages 7-99 years old. 1 player game.

Bamboo Pallina playset by Hape

Pull the sticks out without letting the balls drop!

Why I Love This:  This toy encourages problem solving and fine motor skills. I also love how the colors are calm and are not overwhelming. Great quality toy.

FYI: For kids ages 3-8 years old.
