The Elliebox: 3-6 Year Old Developmental Toolkit

The Elliebox is the everyday child's activity kit compiled by an Occupational Therapist to screen and support the development of critical milestones for ages 3-6 years.

We’ve curated a box of simple, tactile tools and paired them with a professional Instruction Booklet. This isn't just a box of toys; it is a step-by-step guide that turns playtime into a "check-up" for your child’s milestone progress.

What does the Elliebox do? This toolkit focuses on three pillars of school readiness:

• Builds Fine Motor Skills: We use tactile tools like clay, beads, and lacing cards to strengthen little hands for writing and everyday tasks.
• Encourages Gross Motor Development: From "Angel in the Sand" exercises to "Straw Soccer," we guide your child through movements that improve balance, core strength, and coordination.
• Sharpens Cognitive Skills: Memory games and pattern challenges enhance concentration, auditory and visual memory, and basic math concepts.

The "Peace of Mind" Feature: The instruction booklet doesn't just tell you how to play; it tells you what to look out for, acting as a gentle screening method and informs the parent/caregiver when a skill is mastered and if additional healthcare services might be needed.
