Huey is a great little toy and a newer addition to our collection. The birds are a good size for kids with some fine motor skill to open their hands up to grab them out. They add a little challenge of putting them back with a specific shape to line up before they drop, and the birds also spin on those based so you could practice some wrist work with twisting type action. We get our daughter to either pull them out directly, or hold them and get her to reach and try to aim to line it up to put it in place.
The slots in the hippo are a little tricky so require a bit more concentration and fine motor to line them up properly – we will usually help by spinning the bottom part of the bird that rotates to help line it up, or you could get the child to use their non-affected side to rotate that base themselves.
