This fantastic toy we found a few years ago during our short trip to London. One big superstore in the heart of the citycenter was offering this product for kids with a need of developing motor skills and hand-eye coordination. At that time we had no idea yet that our son will be ever diagnosed with ASD, but that toy seemed to us an extraordinary piece. And it is indeed.
I can tell that your little builder will love this Gearation Refrigerator Magnets set from TOMY. The box includes 5 colorful, turning, interlocking gears. You can turn it on, add gears, easily manipulate the them and experiment with all the combinations. It feeds incredibly well kids’ inner engineer. The gears’ speed can be controllable with the fast or slow button. The magnetic solution allows your child to arrange and rearrange them endlessly. If it doesn’t stick to your fridge, you can still use it wth any other metal surfaces.
I truly recommend it for the ABA training sessions as a really good working reinforcer. You can use it also for the manding goals as there is more than one piece which need to be put together to make it work excellently.
The kids like to turn it on and leave it working. One of the gears makes a clicking sound that probably would make you nervous after a few minutes, but with one click you can turn it off again. Think how easly you can take the control over the toy!
Dedicated to kids 3+ – simple to use and fairly cheap. And what most important – extremely resistant. Basically you don’t have to worry about the damages because it’s very difficult to destroy it even if it’s made of plastic.
Have fun!
