Peg in the Egg®
The OT-designed tool that develops hand skills and emotional awareness through purposeful play.

Peg in the Egg® transforms therapy putty into meaningful, occupation-based play that helps children develop grasp, pinch, finger isolation, in-hand manipulation, bilateral coordination, hand strength, dexterity, and endurance. These foundational performance skills support participation in everyday fine motor occupations, including drawing, cutting, self-care, construction play, and handwriting.

Peg in the Egg®

Most putty builds strength. Peg in the Egg® builds participation.

Children learn best through doing. Peg in the Egg® transforms therapy putty into purposeful, occupation-based play that develops the hand skills children use every day. Each Egg-ercise™ provides engaging opportunities to develop coordination, dexterity, precision, and motor control while participating in occupations such as writing, drawing, cutting, dressing, building, and classroom activities.

Add Egg-spressions™, and every activity becomes an opportunity to develop emotional awareness and practice self-regulation through play. Together, these playful experiences help children build the confidence and skills to participate more fully at home, at school, and in everyday life.
