This genuinely is a remarkable tool that will help to improve fine motor skills. Write and draw on the unique board using the pen threaded with colourful string. Thread the string through the pen, and stick the pen into one of the holes on the board. When you lift the pen, you'll discover that the string stays in the hole. When you repeat this, it enables you to create an endless variety of colourful lines and shapes. If you want to start again, simply pull the string and the design easily unravels. There are example cards enclosed, which are numbered according to difficulty levels. So grab hold of the string and let your imagination soar! A really colourful way of practising writing letters and numbers, and designing pictures.

MATCHING MADNESS
SKILLS: Visual Perception Speed Of Thought
Be Quick And Take Your Pick!
A truly wonderful game for children which will really strengthen their powers of observation. The parts of the board make up 54 symbols, each of which has three features - an inner circle colour, an outer circle colour and a symbol. There are three different inner and outer circle colours and six different symbols. The idea is to throw the three corresponding dice - one for each of the inner and outer circles and one for the symbols. The dice will land so that they match one, and one only of the 54 symbols on the board. The idea is to b the first person to spot which one!

SPLASH ATTACK
Skills: Visual Perception Hand/Eye Co-ordination Speed of Thought
Each of the nine fish swims peacefully amongst the one red piranha. Roll the dice to determine the fish that you need to be the first to catch by identifying its colour and shape. Just because you have caught the fish, that doesn't mean it's out of the game. If the same colour/shape combination appear again on the dice, then this time you need to grab the piranha first to ‘eat’ the fish. The first to own three ‘eaten’ fish wins! This is a truly brilliant game - straightforward to learn, huge fun to play and exceptional at developing visual perception.
