Scoops are simple toys that hold importance in sensory play, Montessori education, and certain developmental schema's (transporting schema). Children will intuitively perform the act of transferring from one container to another, which develops their motor skills and coordination, and teaches them independence in daily tasks that require this skill. Help little ones learn the use of simple tools in daily play by having a few scoops in the playroom or kindergarten! You'd be surprised how such a small, simple toy could be so meaningful in development.
