Pom Pom Popper
At first glance, this looks like a simple silicone popper. The kind of satisfying, squeeze-and-pop sensory toy children reach for again and again. But look closer, and it's really three activities in one. The popper itself invites repetitive squeezing and popping for calming, regulating play. Paired with the matching coloured pom-poms and a set of tweezers, it becomes a colour-matching, sorting, and precision-grasping activity all at once.
Children can pop, sort pom-poms by colour into the popper's compartments, or use the tweezers to pick up and transfer each soft pom-pom with growing control. It's the kind of toy that adapts to a child's mood and stage, a quick sensory fidget on a busy day, or a focused, seated fine motor activity when there's time to sit and work through the full set. Available in three playful designs (Star, Cupcake, and Ice Cream), it's an easy toy to love and an easy one to return to.
With pom-poms and a dedicated tweezer included, this set offers genuine replay value well beyond a typical single-use fidget toy, making it a smart, affordable addition to any fine motor or sensory toy collection.

3. What the OT Says
As an occupational therapist, I love a toy that works on multiple skills without a child ever feeling like they're "practising" anything, and the Pom Pom Popper does exactly that. The repetitive squeeze-and-pop action of the silicone base provides steady proprioceptive input through the fingers and hands, deep pressure feedback that many children find genuinely calming and organising, which is why I often recommend poppers like this as a portable, sensory regulation tool.
Layer in the tweezers and pom-poms, and the activity shifts into serious fine motor territory. Using a tweezer to pick up a soft pom-pom and transfer it into a compartment demands a controlled tripod grasp, along with the visual-motor precision to judge distance and placement accurately. This is exactly the kind of grasp pattern children need before they can hold a pencil correctly, and tweezer-based transfer activities are a staple in my own OT toolkit for building that skill.
Sorting the pom-poms by colour into matching sections of the popper also supports colour recognition and visual discrimination, small but meaningful pre-academic skills. And because the whole activity can be done seated, at a table, with sustained attention required to complete each transfer, it's a lovely one for building focus and task persistence in young children.
I recommend this as a versatile, multi-skill addition to any home fine motor basket, and equally as a reliable go-to in clinical sessions targeting grasp, precision, and sensory regulation together.
Let customers speak for us
I bought this for my son as a level up from stacking cups. The cars add a fun element and I love that he can play with them on the train track too!
My 20 month old loves this shape sorter! It’s stimulating and looks great on his toy shelf.
I bought this ice cream counter for my granddaughter's 2nd birthday. She and her 5 year old sister absolutely LOVE playing with this. Their mother's reaction was 'WHAT a hit!' The younger one loves to stack and place, the colourful and sturdy pieces, in out of the slots of the counter and this will develop into proper pretend play as she gets older. I can see both girls playing with their ice cream counter for years to come as it will have a long shelf life due to both the quality of the parts and the play interest for a broad age group of children.
Innovative and a GREAT idea to level up the bath toy game!
I bought this outdoor easel for my son, and it has been an amazing addition to our garden playtime. The quality is excellent, and it's sturdy enough to withstand active play outdoors. My son loves spending hours drawing, painting, and using his imagination.
The easel was easy to assemble and has plenty of space for creative activities. It's also easy to clean, which is a huge bonus for messy art projects! I love that it encourages creativity, keeps him entertained, and gives him a fun way to enjoy the outdoors.
I highly recommend this outdoor easel to any parent looking for a durable, fun, and educational gift for their child.
I love using this in speech therapy as an incentive. The children find it very exciting to lift the discs off the table with the wand. Strong magnet.
I will order from Tiny tree toys again, their service was very professional and friendly.
A really lovely cuddly bedtime cloth - my grandson loves it :-) Good tactile features included that engage baby's senses and provide comfort.
All three of my girls are loving this simple addition to the outside play area. Seems quite strong as I absolutely launch them. Love the fact that the height is adjustable. Great product - Happy.
We absolutely loved the gorgeous gift that we received of the cutest black & white flower bouquet with Afr & Eng gift tags for Mother's Day of 2026!
It was simply lovely and só spot on!
Thank you Tiny Tree Toys! ⚘️
I absolutely love this puzzle, and have purched multiple ones as gifts. It is well crafted, and the wood is neatly rounded off. I'll be honest I've never played the game guidlines included, and rather use it as a catalyst in my creative processes. I love the fact that there are no rules to this, and the opportunity to use it as an expressive tool. My tiny human loves it too, and can play endlessly with captivated imagination.
Absolutely love the wooden stacking toys, I am trying to move away from plastic and purchase better quality educational toys for my baby and this is the perfect shop for that!
Great addition to our light-box and there are more than one of each letter in this set. This gives you more word building opportunities.
What a great fine motor beading set. They give nice resistance when children push them together and pull them apart, which helps strengthen the fingers and improve hand control.
