Kids practice pincer grip, great for scissor control, by spinning Hoot's eyes, build hand strength by squeaking Hoot's nose, and work on hand-eye coordination by dropping four coins into Hoot's slot. Once the coins are inside, use scissor skills to flap Hoot's wings and send the coins tumbling out of his sides! It's a friendly twist on the usual fine motor games for kids! Parts store inside Hoot's slot for easy clean-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEducational Benefits of Learning Resources Hoot the Fine Motor Owl\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine Motor Skills.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColours \u0026amp; Shapes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforces Number Recognition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContains:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Hoot Owl.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 play coins, colours vary.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSize: 17.8 x 9.5 x 20.3cm.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAges 18 months - 5 years.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEducational Video of Learning Resources Hoot the Fine Motor Owl\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/436725408\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Learning Resources","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32637790584895,"sku":"Q3800","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2689\/5080\/products\/learning-resources-hoot-the-fine-motor-owl-hands-499.jpg?v=1668730598"},{"product_id":"peter-rabbiit-heads-tails-matching-game","title":"Peter Rabbit Heads \u0026 Tails Matching Game","description":"\u003ch4 class=\"strap\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMatch Peter Rabbit and friends in this fun first activity.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"bullets\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAn adorable Peter Rabbit™ and friends matching activity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFeaturing 12 beautifully illustrated Peter Rabbit™ characters!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eChunky, wipe-clean cards ideal for little hands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePerfect birthday gift for toddlers .\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAge 18months+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Orchard Toys","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40538176618559,"sku":"C1158","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2689\/5080\/files\/peter-rabbiit-heads-tails-matching-game-orchard-toys-173.jpg?v=1710756975"},{"product_id":"peter-rabbit-rabbit-tace","title":"Peter Rabbit, Rabbit Race","description":"\u003ch4 class=\"strap\"\u003eRace through the burrow in this fun matching game\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"bullets\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoin Peter Rabbit, Benjamin Bunny, Flopsy and Mopsy as they race through Mr. McGregor’s burrow in this fun matching game!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWatch out for Mr. McGregor hiding under the flowerpot!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect as a birthday gift for children.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge 3+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"bullets\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Orchard Toys","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40538204340287,"sku":"C1159","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2689\/5080\/files\/peter-rabbit-race-game-orchard-toys-804.jpg?v=1710757465"},{"product_id":"peter-rabbit-fish-count","title":"Peter Rabbit, Fish \u0026 Count","description":"\u003ch4 class=\"strap\"\u003eHave fun learning to count with Peter Rabbit and friends\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"bullets\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCatch the most fish and put your counting skills to the test\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBut watch out for the stickleback who will steal your catch!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourages number recognition and counting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect as a birthday gift for children.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge 3+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"bullets\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"bullets\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Orchard Toys","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40538252967999,"sku":"C1160","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2689\/5080\/files\/peter-rabbit-fish-count-game-orchard-toys-960.jpg?v=1710757935"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.brightminds.sbs\/collections\/sorting-and-matching.oembed","provider":"BrightMinds UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
