Jumbo Bead Picture Board

Bead Picture Builder supplied with 200 plastic beads in 8 assorted colours,  6 colour pictures ( bee, house, castle, snail, yacht, parrot) and instructions.

Once the builder has been easily assembled, the chosen picture is inserted in the bead frame at the back of the tray and the corresponding bead colours are dropped into the slots to build the picture.

This encourages hand eye co-ordination, fine motor skills, colour recognition and strengthens the pincer grip.

The picture can then be changed and the beads easily emptied to start building a new picture.

When finished with, the beads are stored in the compartments and the plastic frame slides over them to act as a lid.

Ruairí’s Story

“I cannot recommend Sensational Kids highly enough. Our son, Ruairí, has attended occupational therapy for just over 2 years. The care, compassion and dedication shown to him and to us has been exemplary. Attending Sensational Kids has improved and enriched Ruairís life immeasurably.
