Slither, Screw & Play - Snake Thread Peg Board with Screw-On Nuts A chunky 3D-printed snake-shaped thread peg board with threaded posts and a set of nuts that children screw on by hand. A real step up from regular peg play - the twisting action builds wrist rotation, finger strength and bilateral co-ordination, all of which feed into early pencil control. Perfect for reptile topics, jungle small worlds and language-rich threading sensory play. Why Little Hands Will Love It Screw-on nuts, not just push-in pegs: the twisting action engages both hands at once and builds finger strength. Bilateral co-ordination: one hand holds the post, the other twists the nut - brilliant pre-writing skills practice. Animal recognition and language: name the snake, copy the sound, build vocabulary as you play. Topic-linked learning: supports reptiles, jungle, habitats and minibeasts planning in EYFS settings. What's In the Box 1 x 3D-printed snake thread peg board Set of 3D-printed nuts to screw onto the threaded posts (colour mix) How to play: children pick up a nut, line it up with a threaded post on the board, and twist to screw it on. Once filled, they unscrew them all and start again. Pair with pom-poms or beads for the unscrewed posts for extra sensory play.
