Includes: 12 tweezers — 6 colors (red, yellow, purple, orange, blue and green). Plastic storage container. Tweezers measure 4"L. Grades: Toddler +. Learning Style: Tactile. Skill Development: Fine Motor- As students pick up objects with the tweezers, they are working on motor planning and eye-hand coordination (visual-motor integration) and refining the manual skills needed for writing, drawing and daily living. Sensory Integration- Students who are hypersensitive to textures can participate in tactile play using tweezers to hold and move objects. Self-Help- Incorporate puppet-like conversations to enhance communication and social interactions. Gator (tweezers) can speak to or try to gobble up the other person, increasing direct contact with another. Recommended age 2+ years
