What our OT says:
I have used this game a lot and it has been a favourite for our 5-6 year olds. Here is why:
- Consistent Use of Positional Terms: Utilize terms such as "front", "middle", "back", "in front of", "behind", and "next to" consistently throughout the activity to reinforce spatial understanding and language comprehension.
- Modeling and Imitation: Begin by creating a scene on the base and encourage the child to replicate it if building from a 2D model is challenging. This helps develop visual-spatial skills and fosters imitation abilities.
- Encouraging Creativity: Allow the child to create their own picture and describe it using positional terms. This promotes imagination, language development, and reinforces spatial relations.
- Questioning and Engagement: Create scenes and ask questions such as "What is behind the bushes?", "Where is the cat?", and "What is next to the house?" This encourages observational skills, critical thinking, and spatial awareness.
- Adaptive Positioning: If the child struggles to build from a flat card on the table, prop the card upright. This alternative setup can facilitate easier visual reference and manipulation.
- Shape Identification: Turn pieces over so the child can identify them by shape only. This activity enhances visual discrimination and shape recognition skills.
- Verification and Correction: Ask the child to assess if their finished scene matches the pattern card. Guide them through checking each piece location against the card, encouraging them to identify and correct any discrepancies independently.
- Sequential Instructions: Start with placing one piece on the board and provide verbal directions for subsequent pieces (e.g., "Put the house in the middle" and "Place the car next to the house"). This supports sequencing skills and spatial reasoning.
Let customers speak for us
I got this together with the silicone beach set for my niece's 1st birthday. Although we are still in the heart of winter, these are great for bath time. At this age they love spending time in the bath and what's more fun than a watering can. Scooping and pouring, Feeling the water spray is a great sensory experience and I absolutely love the colours.
I got this beautiful set for my 1 year old niece's birthday. This set is durable made from food grade silicone and absolutely beautiful. Can't wait for summer to arrive.
All the products are of high quality, very cute and very educational. I am very satisfied with everything I bought from Tiny Tree Toys.
I bought this for my 8-month-old. The stepping stones are marketed toward children aged one year and up, but I grabbed them because they always seem out of stock—get it if you see it's available! It's a great addition to our toy set, and it offers endless opportunities for open-ended play. It's super sturdy for mum and dad to sit and stand on, too.
Our little one is 10 months old and this activity walker is the perfect toy for aiding in balance, confidence and heaps of fun. Not only is it great for engagement with all the various activities on the front but the walker itself is sturdy. The product is elegantly finished and beautiful to say the least. This is a highly recommended product.
These are great because she can play with them in or out the bath. Also dries easily. Great quality and beautiful colours.
Love how the books are put together - it is great quality! Thank you for your awesome service!
Such a nice puzzle for my 2.5 year old. The wooden pieces are hard enough for her not to break/ tear them and she loves all the colours and pictures on them.
My 4 year old loves this for activity time and you get lots of extra stickers
More than just a stacking toy. Ideal for a fantasy play castle or just practising in and out as the one cup has a door!
These spheres can open so you can hide little toys inside, creating more opportunity for play than merely using the patterns on the outside.
Love the size for little hands to push on and love that you can create many different patterns/pictures with these.
We hooked that ladder on a tree branch, and the kids really love playing on it.
These nesting dolls (bears!) are so cute, much larger than I thought, good for little hands too! Our kids will love them and will ensure many creative playful moments! Worth it!
