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 Handy Scoops not only prepare children for scissor cutting but also contribute to overall fine motor development.

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.
Such a wonderful set of accessories enhancing creative play with play-dough!
