Use these plastic shape links to sort, pattern, and count while working on eye-hand coordination, fine motor manipulation skills, and bilateral activities. To use the links, pick up two links and locate the openings in the shape. Place the two openings together in an alternating fashion and push together. Make a chain by stabilizing the end link while placing the two link openings together. There are endless activities for using the ManipuLinks®. You'll get an instruction book filled with ideas for a variety of skills.
- Color matching and sorting.
- Learn sequencing by arranging the links based on color, shape, and size.
- Challenge visual motor skills by tracing and making pictures.
- Hand-eye coordination.
- Fine motor skills.
- Patterning.
- Practice visual perceptual skills by finding the shapes of the links in books or around the room/house. (For example, "Find all the shapes that look like this triangle.")
- Strengthen math skills addition and subtraction.
- Counting 1–10.
