Should learning be fun? Thumb Balls have the answer!
I am excited about a new teaching aid I have discovered and I am getting ready to use in my own classroom. The hottest item for kids these days seems to be Thumb Balls. Thumb Balls are 4 and 6 inch balls with subject matter focused panels. The object of their play is to throw and catch one in your hands, and the panel that your thumb lands on is the focus of your next reaction to the play at hand. These Thumb Balls are wonderful teaching aids for young children as they learn everything from their alphabet, numbers, and shapes, to how to write short stories. For older children they are a fun and interactive tool to build important social and emotional skills. Colorful and interactive, they can be used in the classroom or at home to focus both students and teachers/parents on the skill being targeted. Thumb Balls are a new twist on an old concept but these colorful little balls contain text and concepts relevant to age appropriate learning and the standards your child is expected to meet at their specific grade level. More than just a simple four or six inch ball! Throw it! Catch it! The child responds to the panel under their thumbs, stimulating the skill while having fun! Go take a look; you will be amazed that learning can be so much fun!
Good detail. Appreciated
