Pick them one by one from the tree... but be careful, these apples require clever fingers and good control!
This wooden apple tree is a playful and thoughtful way to develop fine motor skills and scissor skills. Every child is challenged at their own level.
The sturdy wooden tree with cheerful illustrations invites discovery and practice. Children can pick apples with tongs, cut with adapted scissors, or sort and count. By easily adjusting the activity – lying on the table or upright in the stand – a new challenge always arises that perfectly matches what a child can handle.
What makes this game extra valuable is the combination of different motor skills in one activity:
- stimulates pinch grip and hand muscles through the use of tongs and tweezers
- supports practicing scissor skills and hand-eye coordination
- promotes bilateral coordination (cooperation of both hands)
- helps develop force regulation and precision
- stimulates executive functions such as planning, attention, and perseverance

The extra bird-tongs with worms make the game even more versatile. Ideal for a memory game or sorting game, while quietly working on grip strength and concentration.

Play suggestions:
- let children cut and sort apples by color
- use the tongs to move apples without dropping them
- play a memory game with the worms and bird-tongs
- increase difficulty by varying the distance or position of the tree

This apple picking game is perfect for use in therapy, in the classroom, or at home. It grows with the child's development and therefore remains interesting and challenging for a long time. A playful tool that naturally combines motor development, concentration, and self-confidence.
