What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
A hands-on manipulative kit from APH designed to build foundational early childhood skills through tactile and visual engagement with pegs. Children practice inserting and arranging pegs into a pegboard to develop fine motor control, counting and sequencing concepts, color and size recognition, and tactile discrimination. It's aimed at young children who are blind or have low vision, where concrete, touchable materials replace or supplement visual-only learning activities. This is a complete, ready-to-use kit — no additional software or devices needed — though it works best as part of structured early intervention sessions guided by a teacher or orientation specialist who can build intentional activities around the materials.
