Why our Child-Experts Love It
We all take catching for granted. You throw the ball...it goes in the air...and you catch.
But catching is one of the most complicated things we do as a young child. At first, kids have to catch ′against′ themselves. And as they get older, they can catch a ball with their hands. Getting used to one-handed catching takes some practice, which is just what these mitts are designed to do.
We love the Crab Catchers as an intro to gain confidence playing catch while they improve their hand-eye coordination. The catchers are perfectly sized for little hands. Just throw...catch...and stick to it!
Have you ever heard a crab giggle before?
Features and Skills
- Begin using this Clicker Crab Toss and Grop toy by introducing your child to the small balls. Teach him to throw overhand and underhand. You can even set up targets with baskets or tape a big square on the wall to help develop the accuracy he will need for a smaller target
- Then, introduce him to the mitts. First throw carefully to his target, giving him the confidence he needs to thoroughly enjoy the game. You won’t believe his excitement at his first catch
- Do your best to catch his throws, however inaccurate they may be!
- Once he gets better with his aim, challenge his accuracy by changing the position of your mitt. See how many times he can actually hit it!
- This is a great toy for developing hand to eye coordination. The Velcro mitts help to inspire confidence in your child by making catching easier!
