Bear-shaped pockets cut into a hand-finished maple tray. The pockets read as a row of small bears at first glance and become whatever the morning needs: porridge bowls, hibernation dens, honey pots, character homes. Designed by Button & Bug's certified pediatric occupational therapist and cut to order in the USA by a small woodworking workshop, from furniture-grade hard maple. The food-safe finish wipes clean and stays smooth through years of daily classroom use. Developmental benefits: Open-ended sensory exploration with any fill material Counting and one-to-one correspondence through the bear-shaped wells Fine motor control through scooping, pouring, and precise placement Narrative scaffolding around bear-family storytelling (Goldilocks, hibernation, Three Bears retellings) Extend the play: Fill with classroom basics like oats, rice, or river stones, and let the bear wells become porridge bowls, hibernation dens, or a Three Bears retelling. Fill is not included.
