Christmas items aren't just for looking at!
This Pop It Christmas tree is wonderful for popping, of course, but it becomes even more fun when you use it for small motor skills games.
The silicone bubbles can be pressed and popped back one by one. This provides a pleasant, predictable sensory stimulus while simultaneously stimulating finger dexterity and force regulation. With a pair of tweezers, the Christmas tree also becomes a fun exercise for the pincer grasp, eye-hand coordination, and fine motor skills. For example, lay out colored pom-poms and let the child decorate the Christmas tree with them. Which color goes where?
- Popping stimulates finger dexterity and force regulation
- Practicing the pincer grasp with tweezers
- Placing pom-poms stimulates eye-hand coordination and motor precision
- Fun for color recognition, sorting, and simple patterns
- Provides a nice tactile and repetitive stimulus
- Also fun as a quiet fidget toy or sensory toy

That way, a simple Christmas tree Pop It suddenly becomes a little motor skills game. And of course, you can just keep on popping it afterwards!
