The Lazy 8 marble track
The Lazy 8 is a valuable tool to help with a range of developmental skills:
- Crossing the midline of the body -
- helping build strong hand eye co-ordination -
- develop eye tracking skills -
- bi-lateral co-ordination skills -
- build strong letter formation and smooth writing -
The Lazy 8 is also the underlying shape for learning letter formation. Either running your finger round the Lazy 8 track or using a marble is a fun and simple activity to help your child develop a range of visual and motor skills.
This solid plastic Lazy 8 can help your child to become more aware of the two sides of the body, build visual skills and help with the development of smooth reading and writing. This is a very rhythmic and calming activity to also help with building attention.
The centre of the Lazy 8 is ideally in the centre of the body which really helps the eyes to track across the central or lateral midline.
