Here are some other toys I have written about in the past that may be great gifts for the holidays.  We try to give you lots of options for using each toy so that you can have ideas on how to maximize its benefit and fun with your child!  Despite the fact that I have put them in categories below, most of them are cross disciplinary and work on multiple things at the same time.

Some of them have a larger focus on movement and gross motor:

Some incorporate oral motor control as well as other factors:

[Kazoos](https://starfishtherapies.com/2012/08/29/kazoos-for-postural-control/)

Some have more to do with fine motor control:
