melc Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Try TTS: I have ordered some really chunky tweezers from there... I think they have arrived but haven't been in school today to open parcel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo A Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I saw some children's practice chopsticks yesterday for the first time in a kitchen shop - i thought they would be good for fine motor skills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlettangel Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I use metal ones which allow very fine motor movements and tongs for the bigger movements! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Hi there, We purchased our tweezers from TTS. They came in a pack of about 10 and are made of quite chunky plastic. TTS also sell a fine motor skills box which contains all different resources/activities to develop children's fine motor skills. We purchased one last year and we haven't stopped using it!!! Hope this helps, Tinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmajess Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 We got the chunky ones from TTS too - they're great - but also some more fine / precise ones from TTS science section to allow progression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
