5 Peg Boards With Pegs

Stop the presses! If you're looking for the ultimate activity for developing those all important fine motor skills in a quiet, focused way, look no further. This pack of five Peg Boards with Pegs is a classic for a reason. The repetitive, precision based action of placing a peg into a hole is pure magic for refining the pincer grip, an essential precursor to writing. Children are not only practising dexterity; they are also exploring early mathematical concepts like pattern, sequencing, and grouping. The set encourages intense concentration and is a genuinely calming activity for individual work. With five separate boards, you can easily set up differentiated tasks or provide a focused activity for a small group.

Features

• Five Individual Peg Boards (L15.7cm): Allows for multiple children to work simultaneously or for different pattern challenges to be set up.
• Small Pegs: Specifically designed to encourage the development of a strong and controlled pincer grip.
• Durable Construction: Built to last, ensuring the pegs and boards can withstand high frequency use in a busy setting.
• Grid Format: Provides a clear structure for children to practise visual perception and early concepts of coordinates and spatial awareness.
• Bright Peg Colours: Invites creative pattern making and visual sequencing, linking to Expressive Arts and Design.

Benefits

• Physical Development (PD): An outstanding resource for developing fine motor control, precision, and hand eye coordination, directly supporting later writing skills.
• Mathematics (M): Enables hands on play of pattern, sequencing, counting, and one to one correspondence.
• Personal Social and Emotional Development (PSED): Promotes sustained concentration and focus, helping children to build resilience and complete a task.
• Communication and Language (C&L): Practitioners can use the activity to introduce and reinforce vocabulary related to position and direction (e.g., above, below, next to).
• Expressive Arts and Design (EAD): Children use the pegs to create pictures, designs, and symmetrical patterns, fostering creativity and visual planning.
