🐣 MEET PEG — THE LITTLE CHICK WHO HELPS LITTLE HANDS GROW STRONG!
Designed by a Board-Certified Pediatric Occupational Therapist with a utility patent and TÜV Rheinland safety certification, Peg in the Egg™ combines fine motor skill development, pencil control practice, and self-regulation through irresistible play.
🐣 Help Peg hatch while building the skills that support school readiness!
Open the egg. Find Peg. Press his beak into the putty. Every poke, push, and squeeze helps strengthen the hands and develop the coordination needed for writing, drawing, and everyday activities — and children simply experience it as play.
✨ WHY PEG IN THE EGG™ IS DIFFERENT
Peg in the Egg™ was created by Ellen M. Cullen, OTD, MS, OTR/L, BCP — a Board Certified Pediatric Occupational Therapist who combines evidence-informed OT practice with playful design.
Because little hands deserve tools created by someone who understands how children develop.
Peg is shaped like a little chick with a beak designed for small hands to hold and manipulate. As children help Peg peck through the putty egg, they practice hand strength, precision, coordination, and motor control through meaningful play.
