FROM THE BRAIN POWER SALE...

BUSY TIME Playbox


I want to highlight a really great item from the sale. My daughter has this and it is truly something that engages them for quite some time. I am pulling the features and benefits of this directly from the site's flyer so I don't miss anything.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Invites exploration in pattern recognition, sorting by shape and color,

and memory skills.

• Spinning the gears and fitting the pieces into the slots encourages

hand-eye coordination.

• Inner space lets children learn to rely on senses other than sight – and

to process that information cognitively – to identify pieces hiding inside.

• Assortment of pieces and shapes promotes sorting and classifying.

• Playful “toolbox” shape makes this play center portable and lets children

explore on the go.

• Great take-along activity center for travel.

SPECIAL NEEDS APPLICATIONS

• Multiple sensory opportunities promote exploration.

• Matching shapes and colors provide increased opportunities for success.

• Inner space lets children with low vision identify pieces by shape.

From 18 months - Preschool (A,K,V)

I love the colors! They are bright and inviting - standard primary colors. Fun for a nice span of early age as well as special needs (as you can see from above).

Love it!
