What is special needs?
Four tools and four different ways to develop the small hand muscles needed for writing and daily living. As children![]()
have fun playing, picking up objects, and squirting and sifting water, they are developing hand control and acquiring the skills needed for self-help and daily living needs. Motor planning is also part of the play as children figure out how they need to move their hands and arms to pick up objects. It helps children develop stability and learn how to control parts of their body while other parts move. Fine motor skills can also contribute to communication skills. Being able to write a note, use a computer, or draw a picture are all ways children communicate and they require fine motor skills. These Helping Hands Fine Motor Tools are the perfect set to prepare children for using and controlling their hands and fingers with purpose and precision.

This bundle contains 5 toy fidgets perfect for occupational or physical therapy tool kits. Fidgets are a self-regulation tool used with children who have a difficult time sitting still or focusing. Fidgets help promote focus and concentration, and keep the body (fingers) busy so they can still sit and focus! Fidget toys are also great for strengthening hand muscles and building fine motor and finger dexterity. All activities bundled together in a vinyl zipper bag for easy travel. This set contains: Fun Face Ball – These are surprisingly durable, I watched as several people played with them, and the little neighbor girl even twisted a part of the balloon several times and tied a little knot and it still did not break. Please note that the hair is only glued on so the yarn will fall off. 1 random color. Puffer Octopus – This cute octopus ball is a perfect sensory or stress ball. Kids can squeeze the ball to make parts pop out. Please note: The tentacles are stretchy, but they will snap off if you pull too hard. 4.5″ long. Mesh Bubble Ball – This 2.5″ fidget ball is a fun tactile toy that you cannot put down. The ball is filled with a colored slime which is encased in a colored shell. It is then wrapped with a fabric mesh so when you squeeze it, the slime pops through the mesh creating these addicting little balls that you can poke back in or simply release your grip and they will all pop back in leaving an alluring sound! So addicting! Ages 5+. (Includes 1 random color) If you squeeze really really hard, the mesh will begin to dig into the colored lining of the ball and create little holes that slime can slowly escape. Frog Stress Ball – This adorable but sad frog is a classic dense foam stress ball. Whether you are using it to relieve stress or build hand strength, it will be a hit! Measures: 3 1/2″ x 2 1/2″
