The Grip and Fill – Peg Tray is an extension of our range of toys that help the infant develop the pincer grip. It consists of thickness and colour-graded cylinders which are to be placed in the pits made for them. Two major learnings that this toy provides are the concept of hollow and filled and both colour and thickness gradation. All the six pegs can nest inside the biggest one of the respective colour making the hollow piece become full.
Why Grip And Fill - Peg Tray for your child?
As the infant indulges with the peg tray, he/she works with various grips (from wide to narrow) making sure that the repetition guarantees the finishing of this skill. It’s the precision of the pincer grip that helps the toddler hold the pen/pencil and write appropriately. Each time the baby tries to grip the cylinder, he goes through exploration, manipulation, repetition, control of error, precision, and much more. This play promotes hand and eye coordination as well. All along, the baby learns patience and enhances concentration and focus. To the adult eyes it may appear a very easy task to pull out the pegs and put them back however for a 12-month-old it’s a serious piece of learning. Play is the real work of a child. And the key to mastering any of these skills is repetition.
