One fun game to play with a PhysioBall
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
Try lying kids on a physiotherapy ball on their tummies. Encourage them to reach up, perhaps to remove magnets from the refrigerator door. Neck, back, stomach, and arm muscles are all strengthened. This is a great exercise for children with low muscle tone!

PLAY Tip
Where should I grip my pencil?
Some children hold their pencils too far up the pencil's shaft. Their hands may even be right off of the paper, causing light pressure and wobbly control. Try wrapping a bright Wikki Stix around the pencil at the proper grasp point. The visual and tactile cue can really help!
