لماذا هذا مفيد لهم
Aligning an object with an opening they cannot fully see requires spatial reasoning and a lot of trial and error. The delay between dropping and the object appearing is also a small, satisfying lesson in cause and effect over time.
التعديل حسب العمر
15 to 24 monthsOne short tube at a low height with a wide opening.
3 to 4 yearsAdd a bend so the object comes out somewhere unexpected.
السلامة
Objects must be too large to swallow. Do not use small pom-poms with children who still mouth things.
