Hand and eye coordination is an important developmental skill that can lead to the improvement of a child’s fine and gross motor skills, cognitive and social skills.
Even though a lot of hand and eye coordination is developed through everyday activities including eating and drinking, you can provide your child with a range of toys to further develop these skills.
Mocka sell a great range of fun products that will help to develop your child’s hand and eye coordination without them even knowing it.
Babies
Mocka’s Wooden Playgym and Play Mat is a fundamental toy for babies. The Playgym not only allows your child to spend valuable time on their tummy and back but it also helps to stimulate the development of their hand and eye coordination as they reach up to grasp the toys that dangle above them.
Once your baby can sit up and play, encourage them to play with more complex toys. The Block Trolley is fantastic for encouraging creative play through building, allowing your child to learn skills including building and balancing weighted objects while having fun.
