A list of tried and true toy recommendations that this paediatric Occupational Therapist uses in practice to support the development of pincer grip. I've tried to include various resources for different age ranges and different interests. Those with “Older” or “Younger” in the title are specifically for older/younger learners, and those that don't specify are appropriate for a wider age range. Some of these items are designed specifically for developing fine motor skills, and others are regular household items or games that can also be used to build on pincer grasp. If you have any questions about how to use any of the resources, please let me know and I'd be happy to help out!

When you first find out, you're going to be a twin mom you're panicked and excited am I right? But then you realize there's all these extra things. You never thought you'd have to think of when you were imagining one, baby. I struggled with infertility and then got a set of twins.
