The Occupational Therapist behind the box
Hi, I’m Elspeth!
“As a mom of three and an Occupational Therapist, I saw an opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of children. I am passionate about community development and the potential that our South African context holds for equipping children from all walks of life. Experience has taught me that skilled, appropriate intervention by a caregiver/parent goes a long way to prepare a child for their academic school journey. Bridging this gap between a child’s play world and their developmental wellbeing excites me!”
The Elliebox is a developmental toolkit for the every day South African child. It focuses on developing four key areas:
Fine motor skills
Gross motor skills
Cognitive skills
Creativity
Included in the box
- Instruction booklet: includes a wide range of age appropriate developmental activities, carefully selected to support gross motor development, fine motor development and basic cognitive development skills
