Large Handy Scoops
These Large Handy Scoops are a great way to build the muscles needed for scissor cutting! Tools feature colourful scoops and easy to grip handles for developing fine motor skills.
Features:
- 1 Handy Scoop measures: 21.5 cm (L) x 7.5 cm (W)
What our OT says:
One of my favourite fine motor tools. This scoop offers several benefits, especially for children’s motor skills and sensory experiences.
- Fine Motor Skills Enhancement: By manipulating sensory materials using scoops, children refine and build motor skills. These include: Pincer Grasp: Using the thumb and index finger to pick up small objects. Precise Wrist Movements: Coordinating wrist movements for controlled actions. Arch Development: Strengthening the arches of the hand. Wrist Extension: Extending the wrist to manipulate tools effectively. Separation of Wrist from Elbow: Developing distal motor control. These skills are crucial for tasks like scissor cutting and writing.
- Proximal Stability and Distal Mobility: Scooping and pouring involve using the proximal arm (shoulder and elbow) for stability while the distal arm (wrist, hand, thumb, and fingers) performs precise movements. Separating stability from mobility is essential for fine motor tasks like colouring with fingers instead of the whole arm.
- Sensory Exploration: The weight and texture of sensory materials in the scoops provide valuable sensory experiences. Children are exposed to different textures during sensory play. Using a scoop is a fun tool to add.
- Crossing the Midline: Scooping and pouring encourage crossing the midline (reaching across the body), promoting bilateral coordination.
- Multi-sensory Learning: Combining touch (handling the scoops) and sight (observing the materials) enriches learning experiences.
These Large Handy Scoops not only prepare children for scissor cutting but also contribute to overall fine motor development.

The most favourite birthday gift for my 5 year old grandson !
These stick-on toys are so versatile and easy to carry with you. I was surprised and delighted to find so many uses for them. Started using them at 6 month and they are still in play a year later.
Our grandson, Lukas, is sooo happy with these - he is 3 and looooves them.
Absolutely love this product. It's only the beginning, but it looks durable, well worth the price. Again, so much to do with this product!
This is such a fun activity to do, the possibilities are endless. I cannot wait for more stock to come in, I need more!
Ding Ding Ring is a hit in both therapy groups and family play. Children race to copy the card patterns with elastic bands, and the thrill of ringing the bell first keeps everyone excited and engaged.
It’s more than just fun, this game builds spatial awareness, sequencing, and motor planning skills while keeping kids laughing and motivated. A fantastic mix of learning and play.
I’ve found it to be quite a challenge for many children, which makes it a great tool for developing spatial awareness and understanding positional concepts. With toddlers, I start by giving simple instructions, like “put the farmer in front of the barn” or “place the chicken behind the farmer.” With older children, the graded copy cards add an extra layer of difficulty as they copy the scenes independently.
It’s a versatile game that targets language, comprehension, visual-spatial skills, and fine motor control all at once. Plus, the durability of the wooden pieces means it will last through many therapy sessions. A definite favourite in my practice!
We love using the wooden threading board in therapy! For little ones, it’s great for building fine motor strength as they push the pegs into the board. For older kids, the copy cards turn it into a fun challenge for concentration, planning, and visual skills.
It’s also fantastic for colour sorting, making patterns, and threading, each peg has a tiny hole at the top, so children need to hold it steady while threading, which builds both hand strength and coordination.
This board grows with your child, from simple play to more advanced activities. A durable, versatile toy that keeps kids learning while they play!
If you need a compact tool for hand strengthening, bilateral coordination, and matching, this set earns its space. It’s engaging and delivers lots of quality reps.
Quick delivery, excellent service and the child really enjoy the Tumbling monkeys. He was very excited about this toy. Awesome experience
From start to finish was such a pleasant experience. Well priced, great product, good comms through purchase/delivery process. Well packaged. Thank Tiny Tree Toys, I will definately be purchasing from you again!
My 18 month old, and my 3 year old both love playing with these piggy banks. They frequently ask for them. Sometimes we just feed the piggies the coins, but my older boy sorts the coins into the correct coloured pigs. He has also raced against a sand timer to fill them, and uses them in imaginative play. The boys can play with them at the same time, or alone (with supervision 😉). Such a versatile game. Well worth ordering!
My 3year old daughter is obsessed with the water beads, she takes just 1 every night, places it in the Barbie fridge with water for the following evening and then builds up a stash in other bowls. SO much fun for the older kiddos in the bath tub.
Good quality with an array of textures and sizes in pretty pastel colours
