Teachers
 
When to use: 
Provides an opportunity to connect movement, coordination, discovery and play through tactile and oral motor experiences. 
Great way to promote reaching and grasping in several different planes (front, right side, left side, etc.). 
Squigz are also great to promote core/trunk stability and/or getting the child into different positions (sidelying, kneeling, tummy time).
Squigz are also a great way for a child to explore their environment through oral motor development as they are safe to chew on (large squigz do provide texture). 
 
How to use: 
Set up on tray table to provide reach/grasp in a more stable/supported position. 
Set up on vertical surfaces (mirror, other toys) to promote reach/grasp to help develop core stability and also teach comfort in different positions. 
If a child is finding opportunities to discover their world with their hands and mouth, giving different textures and opportunities for chew may help to meet that need/desire.
