Star Crayon

The chubby Star Crayon is good for beginning coloring. With crayon tips all around, it is very "forgiving" for a child who has difficulty putting the crayon to the surface. The unique shape requires the child to hold the crayon with fingertips rather than using a full fist. Great as a bath crayon too! Includes six colors. 2.5"D and 1" thick. From 2 years.

Moonworker Grabber

A robot claw that is out of this world! Pretend to be working on the moon, on an expedition to dig out and pick up strange objects. Squeeze the handle to close the sturdy scoops and pick up just about anything. This grabber is shorter and has larger scoops than other products we've tried, so it's easier to handle and pick up objects. Rubber rings on the arm of the Grabber provide a good grip, so that the hand that is not working the scoops provides extra stability. Great for working on grip strength and eye-hand coordination. 5"W x 15"H x 3"D. From 3 years.

Zoob Jr. features softer pieces designed for young children. The pieces are made with a special memory material that flexes and goes back to its original shape, so they bend, move and snap together snugly. The open-ended versatility sparks young imaginations.
