A creation of Fat Brain Toys, there are many ways you can use these simple suction cup based toy to build fine and visual motor skills.

Peaceable Kingdom

This brand has many board games we love- our favorites include Feed the Woozle, Mermaid Island, Stack Up!, Engineering Ants, and Willy's Wiggly Web
Picture

Yoga Cards

There are many games you can play with yoga cards- our favorite is "Yoga Boss" where we take turn teaching each other. We like the Yoga Pretzels card brand.

Fit Deck

We will often use these cards to create "ninja training" sequences.

Swish by ThinkFun

An excellent game to promote visual perception skills. One of the best things about this game is each player can play at a different level of difficulty while still interacting with one another- making it excellent for families or therapy groups.

Enchanted Cupcake Party

This game seems to be universally popular with younger boys and girls alike. We like to practice handwriting by copying the recipes before building. Manipulating the small pieces helps build fine motor skills.
Picture

Scooter Board

Scooter boards are used to activate the core and build shoulder girdle strength and stability. We like this brand because it can link together to provide more or less surface space. Try riding on your belly and using your arms to move around, or riding on your back and using your legs to push off the wall or door.

ThinkFun CodeMaster

 We love this ThinkFun coding game- it reminds a lot of our kids of Minecraft and is very popular- our favorite is to play the game a few times then invite the kids to create a life size version! If that is too challenging, acting out the "run, jump slide" tokens is an excellent way to work on gross motor skills.

Quarto
       Goblet Gobblers

Quarto is helpful to build executive functioning skills and scanning for details in a cluttered visual field. This is great for older children, while younger children prefer Goblet Gobblers (picture below)
