The activity helps your child develop skills and is great for your child's well-being:

• Here, your child can work on strengthening their fine motor skills.
• Stimulates hand-eye coordination, which you rely on e.g. when throwing, catching, or kicking the ball that comes flying at you in PE class, or when cutting an accurate line with scissors.
• This activity develops your child's problem-solving skills.

Measures 24,5 x 24,5 x 2,1 cm.
Suitable for ages 2 yrs. to 4 yrs.

Your child can simply play with this toy without first having to figure out how it works. There is no wrong or right way to play, and there are no rules dictating what your child should do. The goal is simply playing and being in the present moment. We call this type of play intuitive play. It's also known as "open ended play". We suggest that you pause and observe what happens when your child plays using their intuition.

As opposed to types of play which focus on achieving a particular result, intuitive play will most often let you have a fascinating peek into your child’s independent thought process, imagination, and problem-solving skills.
