Creativity & Open Ended Toys

These threaded figures are ideal for open-ended and imaginative play. The bodies of the little people can be creatively dressed using rainbow-colored rings that slide easily onto the thread and are secured by screwing on the "legs."

Dressing the figures develops hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills, while learning to screw in the threads strengthens the fingers and wrist. Each figure can be dressed in a different number of clothes, making it a great tool for learning numbers.

All five figures are of different heights and skin tones, making them perfect for learning about and discussing human individuality and unity, regardless of our differences.

* The figures and their details are selected at random, so the colors may differ from those shown in the photos.

Sensory games give children the opportunity to explore and learn through touch, and with the right tools, even more possibilities are created: skills in using a spoon (picking up and transferring) are developed, differences in volume are introduced, and the pincer grip is developed with both fingers and tools.

These movements are particularly important for developing further independence; they are the first steps towards practicing eating, serving, dressing, drawing, and writing, as well as self-control and self-regulation. Only by trying (and spilling more than once!) can the difference in volume be understood and the limit when it is time to stop be felt.

We recommend combining the tools with wool balls
