It’s small, simple, and probably sitting in your kitchen right now - It's impact on child development is anything but ordinary.
At Icaria Health, we know that meaningful play doesn’t need to come from expensive toys. It can begin with something as everyday as a cup. With a little imagination, cups become towers to build, drums to tap, homes for tiny toys, or tools for colour-matching adventures.
Cups help children develop fine motor skills through grasping, pouring, stacking, and tilting. They also encourage social interaction and communication through turn-taking and guessing games. Along the way, children explore important concepts and target words like: look, fill up, build, empty/full, big/little, in, out, my turn, your turn, pour, push, tip.
Cups are proof that you don’t need fancy toys to create meaningful, therapeutic play. Add a bowl or box to extend the fun even further.
