How a Simple Fidget Toy Contains Far More Educational Potential Than You Might Think
When it comes to effective tools that teach numbers to children, fidget toys may not be the first thing that spring to mind. Fair enough. Although the world of pop-its, fidget spinners, and squishes may be a colourful one, it can sometimes seem a little frivolous.
However, the humble Mrs B’s Sensory 100 pop-it has far more educational depth than its chirpy, rainbow-coloured appearance might suggest – especially with regard to teaching mathematics. More than just a helpful toy, in fact, in the world of multisensory learning, this pop-it learning tool is proving itself to be a most valuable asset in the educational toolbox.
