Masterkidz - Sliding Game

The Handy Learning Sliding Game Board by Masterkidz is a thoughtfully designed wooden activity board that supports key milestones in early childhood development. This tactile board introduces children to four fundamental hand movements-straight motion, see-saw motion, circular motion, and turning-helping to establish the motor planning and muscle control essential in early years settings. Children move the wooden sliders along clearly marked pathways, following directional arrows that foster spatial awareness, coordination, and purposeful movement.

As part of a comprehensive early years developmental program, this board supports sensory-motor integration and skill-building needed for successful participation in everyday routines. It encourages bilateral hand use, strengthening fine motor muscles required for pre-writing and pre-drawing skills, as well as everyday self-help tasks like feeding, dressing, and manipulating learning tools. Designed for toddlers aged 18+ months, the board promotes independence and confidence during solo or small-group exploration.

Measuring 28 x 28 cm, this eco-friendly board is crafted from sustainably sourced European beech and Canadian wood and finished with water-based paint, o-zone friendly e-zero glue, and recycled packaging materials-demonstrating Masterkidz's commitment to high-quality, sustainable resources for early childhood learning environments.

Educational Benefits:

• Develops fine motor control, dexterity, and coordination essential for early writing, drawing, and everyday independence.
• Strengthens visual tracking and spatial reasoning-key components of emergent literacy and numeracy.
• Encourages bilateral coordination and muscle strength to support physical development goals in early years programs.
• Builds persistence, focus, and problem-solving through tactile, hands-on engagement.

Classroom Activity Ideas:

• Integrate into fine motor rotations or discovery tables to support developmental goals in early years curriculum frameworks.
• Use the board during group sessions to model directional language and spatial awareness (e.g., over, under, around).
• Pair with language activities to reinforce action verbs or positional concepts.
• Introduce themed movement games where sliders represent animals or vehicles moving through a story path.

Safety & Information:

• Recommended for ages 18+ months.
• Measures 28 x 28 cm.
• Made from sustainably sourced wood and non-toxic, child-safe finishes.
• Compatible with Masterkidz Wall Elements Stand and Mounting System (sold separately).
