Great game for the whole family Christine of London, Ontario from 9/8/2008 6:37:36 PM
This game is a favourite with our whole family. The sturdy little wooden turtles are fun to roll and easy to handle. There are several different games that can be played. I really like the fact that this game can be played by the whole family. Even my three-year old daughter can participate and play together with her older brothers.

Great Companions!

Development benefits

*The following developmental skills* and benefits are encouraged by HABA Twiddle Turtle Board Game learning toy:**
HABA Twiddle Turtle Board Game develops Fine motor skills Fine motor skills involve a refined use of the small muscles controlling the hand, fingers, thumb, wrists, feet, toes, lips, and tongue. The development of these skills allows one to be able to complete tasks such as writing, drawing, buttoning and speech. Fine motor abilities develop over time, starting with primitive gestures such as grabbing at objects, that develop into basic grasping and manipulation skills to more precise activities that involve precise hand-eye coordination in preschool years and onwards. The preschooler becomes quite adept in self-help, construction, holding grips, and bimanual control tasks requiring the use of both hands. When the child enters middle childhood they make great progress in their artistic abilities. They begin to express themselves through drawing, sculpting, and clay modeling.
HABA Twiddle Turtle Board Game develops Hand Eye Coordination Hand-eye coordination is the ability of the vision system to coordinate the information received through the eyes to control, guide, and direct the hands in the accomplishment of a given task, such as handwriting or catching a ball
HABA Twiddle Turtle Board Game develops problem solving/Cognitive Development Cognitive development is the process by which the brain develops the abilities to learn, remember and solve problems. The foundation for these abilities starts during infancy as the brain begins forming countless synapses, or connections, between brain or nerve cells. The brain is made up of neurons (nerve cells resembling long wires). When a baby is born there are relatively few connections between the neurons, and it is you and your baby's primary task to make new ones. Connections (synapses) between brain cells are made when a baby receives stimulation. As you engage and responds to your baby, you are helping to activate the formation of synapses. The synapses will combine to form neural pathways, and the configuration of those pathways will determine the child's ability to learn, relate to people, manage emotions, and function in the world.
HABA Twiddle Turtle Board Game stimulates Social Development Social Development is defined as a baby/child/person's ability to interact with others, including helping themselves and self-control.
