In my previous blog, I highlighted the "why" of crossing the midline. Here's "how" it can be practiced playfully every day. Tips and play suggestions have been collected in a Facebook call. Additions are always welcome to make the playful practice as varied and fun as possible.

Tips for playfully crossing the midline:

Exercise therapist Marieke saw this air hockey game in the store and couldn't resist. Super useful for stimulating tummy time, improving hand-eye coordination, and practicing crossing the midline.
2. Therapist Miriam: Place puzzle pieces around the area where the puzzle is being made instead of on one side.

3. Remedial teacher Damayanti: I indeed practice this more through brain gym exercises like raising the right knee and touching it with the left hand, and then vice versa, touching the left knee with the right hand, etc. And of course, by writing the lazy eight on paper/in the air. And walking over a line with crossed steps while reciting multiplication tables, for example.

4. Teacher Katrijn: Putting pennies in a piggy bank. Place two bowls, one on the right and one on the left. Pennies from the right bowl go into the piggy bank on the left side and vice versa.

5. Ine: With juggling scarves: throwing them up and catching them with crossed arms, for example... countless variations can be thought of.

6. Pedagogical assistant Hanneke: Sitting in a circle and passing the ball. First clockwise, then counter-clockwise, above your head and behind your back, crossing the midline with large balls in a circle.

7. Toys42hands toy tip: magnetic marble run. Build the track so there are starting points for the marble on the right and left. Stand directly in front of the marble run and let the marble start on the right with the left hand, and on the left with the right hand.

8. Toys42hands toy tip: Draw the large play board with cord. Place it directly in front of the body and cross over the entire board with your hand to reach all corners.

9. Pinterest board: Crossing midline / Überkreuzen Mittellinie

10. Old-fashioned clapping games or modern versions of them. You can find many of them on YouTube. Here's an introduction:

Unique toys for motor skills and coordination
Drawing, but in a whole new way! Or perhaps it's like embroidery? This special embroidery board holds the laces perfectly in place, so your child can create the most beautiful patterns. With the included pen, the lace is simply pushed into a hole, after which it stays securely in place. For the next line, the lace is inserted into the next hole. And if you want to erase the drawing, just pull the lace out again!

This toy stimulates creativity, fine motor skills, and hand-eye coordination . Children learn through play how to hold a pen and how to regulate the strength of their hands and fingers.

- Promotes fine motor skills and writing skills
- Stimulates creativity and problem-solving thinking
- Suitable for solo and ensemble play – large enough for two children at a time
- Helps cross the midline, which is important for motor development

A fun and educational way to strengthen motor skills!

A special wooden puzzle with a surprising twist!
At first glance, this puzzle looks like a regular wooden puzzle, but the real magic is found underneath each puzzle piece. Instead of a standard wooden base, the puzzle board offers a unique sensorimotor experience. Each spot underneath a puzzle piece is covered with a specially selected fabric that matches the animal on the piece.

Your child will discover different structures in a playful way and will not only get to know animals visually, but also tactilely. Feel the soft fur of a rabbit, the rough skin of an elephant or the scales of a fish!

Which animal do you like to pet the most?

Handy small Airhockey set for home or practice without a special table.
With no fewer than four pucks for more playing options.
It is a game that consists of a table, a puck and two pods with which the puck must be hit into the goal (normally narrow slit on the short sides). In this variant any table, desk or floor can be used. On the short sides goals themselves are marked. The two large rings are the pods with which the small circles, the pucks must be pushed into the goal of the opponent.
The neoprene material makes the pucks slide very easily across the table and the game is silent and painless if someone does get hit.
Hand and eye coordination are trained and force regulation is also practiced.
