Letters From Our Therapists

Guidecraft Grippies® Links Sets introduce toddlers to basic STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) principles. The easy-to-stack and connect magnetic construction blocks feature 4 bright colors and varying textures to encourage sensory exploration and the joy of building. Sets also include two sizes of magnetic characters to encourage and promote an understanding of the correlation between people and their environment through imaginative play. With soft, over-molded plastic textures and tactile grips, Grippies Links are perfect for small hands to grasp. The blocks can also pivot when connected for moveable, dynamic play.

To care for Grippies, simply wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap and allow to air dry. To prevent damage, do not completely submerge in water or put any Grippies pieces in a dishwasher or washing machine. Available in 16- and 24- piece sets, Grippes are appropriate for children ages 18 months and older.

• Fine Motor Development: Engaging manual dexterity by using both hands together is a very important milestone in early childhood. Manipulatives that are easy to grasp are a great place to start. Eye-hand coordination is practiced and life skills are addressed.
• Cognitive Development: Building structures engage visual spatial awareness, sequencing, and patterning. Imaginative play schemes encourage creativity.
• Social Development: The set provides all the materials necessary for a small group activity that can inspire interactive language and group problem solving.
• Sensory Development: Activities that provide opportunities to explore different textures are great for learning sensory attributes of touch such as smooth and rough. For children who experience sensory aversions, experience with different textures can help build tolerance widening their scope of ability to engage with different materials.
