Helps Develop Fine Motor Skills
The Puzzle Panel Tactile Sensory Toy involves the use of small movements with the hands and fingers to place the pieces in the desired spot on the panel. This activity encourages the use of the pincer grasp when manipulating the pieces. The geometric shapes can be placed on all sides of the client, which forces crossing the midline to reach in all directions when picking up pieces. Eye-hand coordination and dexterity are used when working on fine motor skills. The development of fine motor skills helps with the completion of daily activities such as writing, brushing teeth, and typing.
