Thin Ice Game
Description
This has been one of our all-time favourite games for therapy.
Using a set of tweezers, pick up and set one marble at a time onto the top of the igloo. The weight from the marbles will eventually break through the "thin ice" tissue, and all the marbles will fall into the base. This is a great cause-effect game and the suspense is real!
Each player will take turns to pick up one marble from the base and place it on top of the tissue. Keep taking turns until someone "breaks the ice" by putting on the marble that breaks through the tissue. The person that breaks the ice loses the game.
Why we like this game:
- The rules are easy and simple to follow therefore this is a great toddlers.
- Taking turns is a great social skill to learn by playing board games.
- This game is fast and over in a few minutes. This is perfect for the concentration span of toddlers. )But be warned you are going to play this a few times.)
- Using a tweezer has so many fine motor advantages, in-hand manipulation, manual dexterity, eye-hand coordination, fine motor precision, tool use, palmar arch support, coordinated use of both hands.
- If the child struggles to use the tweezer provided in the box. Use the fingers and try to encourage the child to use the tripod grip (thumb, index and middle finger)
- Different colour marbles give the opportunity to learn about sorting, matching, patterns and counting.
- Patterns: Ask the child to put two or three marbles onto the igloo on each turn, not just one. Give them a sequence, such as red-yellow, for the order of placement.
- Skip the tweezers and use your fingers to place the marbles.
For 2 to 4 players, ages 5 and up. No batteries required
Base diameter measures 17.5cm

Beautifully made. Our learners are going to have so much fun playing with these
My son loves these, we put them in all his textures to have hum pick it out.
Very interesting for toddler to put together and to learn the different characters
Both my granddaughters aged 1 and 3 love this!
Excellent service, thank you.
I was pleasantly surprised by how engaged my 1year old son was with this toy. He spent so much time taking the veggies out and trying to fit them back into the holes, even testing out different ones. It kept him busy as he packed the veggies in and out repeatedly. It's a simple yet clever toy that holds his attention for longer than I expected. Highly recommend it!
The variety of activities keeps my 1 year old son entertained and engaged. I love that it's not just fun but also educational, helping him with fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and problem-solving. The quality is fantastic, and it's sturdy enough to handle the rough play of a curious toddler. It’s definitely a toy I’d recommend to any parent looking for something that can grow with their child!
We absolutely love this swing! so great for tummy swinging.
My child (14 months) absolutely loves this game!
I'm very happy with the quality and I'm sure the gifts will be enjoyed.
Beautifully made and great service, this special gift tor our third grand daughter from her Nana and Nani will bring her years of playful pleasure.
Super cute tea set. Pretend play only, would not want to add water to the wood. Not sure who likes it more, my almost two year old or mommy ? Quality is good.
