Callirobics - Handwriting Exercises to Music

Note: Review only, product no longer for sale.

Improve handwriting, attention to simple tasks, concentration skills, eye-hand coordination and self esteem.

Callirobics are handwriting exercises to music. The objective of the exercises is to bring more balance and harmony to the user's handwriting and life. It is simple, non-threatening, enjoyable, and requires only a short amount of time. Consistent practice of simple graphical forms trains the hand to perform more complicated writing movements, and the eye to focus on details. The accompanying music helps the participants to concentrate on the exercises. Each of the ten sessions includes two handwriting exercises together with two pieces of music. The music is to help in acquiring more rhythm in writing. The kit includes a manual and a double sided audio tape with ten selections on each side. Packed in a handy, clear plastic case.

Moody Bear Puzzle, Emotion Cards, Smart Alex software all offers an opportunity to recognize expressions and hopefully talk about why the person might be happy or frightened. Try using them with a mirror and perhaps Polaroids of familiar people showing the same emotions. Eventually see if your child can make (and understand) the expressions, then take their pictures!
