Wooden Pincer Peg Board
This simple wooden peg board is made for small fingers. Nine smooth wooden pegs each fit into one of nine holes, set inside a printed 3x3 grid on a natural wood board. Children pinch a peg, lift it, line it up and press it into place. It’s a quiet, focused kind of play that young children often come back to on their own.
The grid gives the board more than one way to play. Children can fill it peg by peg, take every peg out again, or copy simple patterns: a row, a corner, a diagonal. The challenge grows with them. They can try it faster, slower, or with their other hand.
The board is uncoloured, unfussy and calm to look at, so nothing on it competes for your child’s attention. It’s compact and durable, and it suits a playroom shelf, a therapy bag or a quiet moment at the table equally well.

What the OT Says
As an occupational therapist, I often reach for peg boards because they work on the pincer grasp so directly. This is the precise thumb-to-index-finger grip children later use for buttons, zips, small food pieces and, eventually, a pencil. Each peg needs a neat fingertip grip to lift and a controlled push to seat, so children practise grasp and precision release in the same movement.
Because every peg is the same, there’s nothing to sort and nothing to distract from the movement itself. That makes it a clean, focused fine motor task. Lining each peg up with its hole can support hand-eye coordination. Steadying the board with one hand while placing with the other supports bilateral coordination. Holding several pegs in the palm and moving them one at a time to the fingertips builds in-hand manipulation, an important skill that’s easy to overlook.
The printed grid adds a thinking layer when you want one. Copying a pattern you’ve made, such as “fill the top row” or “make an L shape”, asks children to look, plan and hold the pattern in mind. That can support visual perception, motor planning and working memory. You can make it easier or harder simply by changing what you ask. Children can also play with tongs, with the non-dominant hand, or against a timer.
I’d recommend it for home play and as a compact fine motor tool for therapists and classrooms. Every child will use it a little differently, and that’s what makes it worth having.
Let customers speak for us
My son absolutely loves these balls to use on his playdough (he's 3). The fact that they stick together but you can also pull them apart is what really gets his attention.
Brilliant experience, fantastic price and by far my child's most favourite toy!
Thank you!
Thank you for all the free recourses. 💚
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!
