Poppers
Get ready for endless giggles and skill-building fun with these poppers! Load a ball into the popper’s mouth, aim, and squeeze its belly to launch, balls can fly up to 6 metres depending on how much strength is used. Perfect for indoor or outdoor play, they’re a great way to blend movement, coordination, and imagination into every game.
What’s Included:
· 1 popper character (choose your favourite animal or design.
· 3 soft foam balls
· Compact size: 11 cm x 9 cm
What our OT says:
Why they’re great in therapy:
· Hand strength & dexterity Getting the ball into the popper’s mouth and squeezing requires real grip strength. It’s more than a finger exercise, it’s activating the palm, wrist, and even the forearm. I’ve seen kiddos push harder as their strength improves, and they sparkle with pride when they can launch the ball farther. Providers at Outcomes Therapy highlight how poppers build “hand-eye coordination and hand-strength” while supporting cause-and-effect understanding.
· Cause-and-Effect & Motivation Press. Pop. A ball flies out. That immediate reaction makes poppers powerful motivators. Poppers are “super engaging and reinforcing”, hey make every squeeze feel rewarding.
· Visual tracking & aiming allows us to target visual tracking: kids follow the ball's flight, then retrieve it and aim again. It’s small fieldwork for the eyes with big developmental dividends.
· Bilateral coordination & sequencing Often, one hand steadies the toy while the other squeezes, coordinated action that’s foundational for writing and daily tasks.
· Language & social skills These poppers go beyond physical skills. I’ve built games around them: we shoot balls at a target and talk about where they land, “behind,” “under,” “far,” “close”, reinforcing language around spatial concepts. Speech therapists use poppers as cheap, powerful reinforcers for articulation and language goals.
· Sensory input & emotional regulation That “pop” sound and playful launch provide quick sensory feedback. For some children, it’s alerting; for others, it’s regulating. They become tools for self-soothing or for breaking focus when needed.
· Portability & affordability I always keep at least one in my therapy bag. They fit into small spaces, are easy to clean, and nearly every family can get one without breaking the bank.
My favourite thing about poppers? They turn effort into joy. Children who resist“therapy exercises” will happily play popper games for minutes at a time, and those minutes are full of real, measurable progress. Watching them move from struggling to grip, to strong squeezes and accurate aiming, reminds me why therapy is as much about design, creating invitations to play, as it is about outcomes.

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
