Peg in the Egg® — The OT-designed tool that builds real hand skills and emotional awareness through play.

Peg in the Egg®

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

Children don't just need stronger hands, they need hands that aim, control, and adapt. Every Egg-ercise™ targets the specific hand muscles children use for writing, scissors, fasteners, and daily independence.

And with the Egg-spressions™ add-on, Peg becomes a tool for emotional regulation too, helping children name what they feel, breathe through big moments, and move toward calm.

Why it works

✏️ Pencil grip readiness — builds the tripod grasp and open web space children need for writing control

💪 Strength and precision together — goes beyond squeezing to targeted, graded hand muscle activation

🎯 Real motor control — requires aim, pressure, and stability for skills that carry into real life

❤️ Emotional regulation — the Egg-spressions™ add-on helps children identify feelings and self-regulate through movement and breath
