*1x Tong, Colour chosen at random*
Strengthen pencil grip skills without the pencil! It's easy to build one of the most important fine motor skills when you use the Tri-Grip Tongs.
These brightly coloured development tools helps kids strengthen the muscles they need to hold a pencil, write, and hit the milestones for success in school and beyond.
Each 3-prong tong features an intuitive design that mimics the finger placement required for correct pencil grip without the need for an actual pencil or pen. As kids use the tongs to pick up toys, counters, and other objects, they'll be boosting their fine motor skills development without even knowing it.
Skill Development:
Fine Motor- As students pick up objects with the tweezers, they are working on motor planning and eye-hand coordination (visual-motor integration) and refining the manual skills needed for writing, drawing and daily living.
Sensory Integration- Students who are hypersensitive to textures can participate in tactile play using tweezers to hold and move objects.
Self-Help- Incorporate puppet-like conversations to enhance communication and social interactions. Gator (tweezers) can speak to or try to gobble up the other person, increasing direct contact with another.
