Inspired by our bestselling Spike the Fine Motor Hedgehog, Hoot is here to help kids prepare for preschool success with four fun activities. Cuter than your average developmental toys, this fine motor skills owl is designed to build and strengthen the different areas of hand strength and coordination included in school readiness checklists. Kids practice pincer grip by spinning Hoot's eyes, build hand strength by squeaking Hoot's nose, and work on hand-eye coordination by dropping four coins into Hoot's slot. Once the coins are inside, use scissor skills to flap Hoot's wings and send the coins tumbling out his sides! It's a friendly twist on the usual fine motor games for kids! In addition to all of the fine motor fun, Hoot's coins also offers an introduction to color, shape, and number recognition skills, and store inside of Hoot's slot for easy clean-up.
