This busy bag is perfect for any toddler or preschooler who loves cars, planes, trains or anything that moves. My boys LOVE playing with the little colorful rubbery vehicles even without the pattern cards. They line them up, sort them by color and vehicle type and “drive” to different places. Just simple pretend play with this one is fun, and they build up their hand strength and fine motor skills by playing and picking up the little manipulatives. Perfect for toddlers, preschoolers, those with special needs and occupational therapists! How to Play: Draw a card and recreate the pattern using the 1″-1.5″ vehicle manipulatives. What is included: – 36 mini vehicles in 6 colors and styles including car, bus, plane, helicopter, boat and train. – You also get 20 patterns. (10 double-sided cards professionally printed on 100# card stock and laminated with 5mil lamination – these cards are thick and will withstand classroom abuse) Cards are 8.5″x1.57″ What they are learning WHILE having fun: – Hand/Eye coordination – Being able to line up and place the vehicles in a row. – Color recognition – Kids need to recognize the differences in the colors in order to place them in order correctly. – Fine motor – Practicing using fine motor pincer grasp in order to manipulate the vehicles. Builds hand muscles and dexterity which are essential for a proper pencil grasp. – Concentration. This activity utilizes several manipulatives so it offers a great opportunity to sit and focus on a task before it is completed. – Visual Discrimination – Visually discriminate the vehicles in terms of color, style and location on the pattern (position in space). -Problem Solving – Try to see what vehicle comes next in the pattern. Or create your own patterns with the 36 manipulatives
