wind-ups

I got these little wind-up spring animals before Q was even born! They were selling them for $1 at Walgreens around Easter time and I stocked up. I remember loving to play with them as a child and I knew I'd want to introduce them to Q. They are great at many levels. They require fine motor precision and strength to wind them. Q can wind them a little bit, but often asks for help to wind them "up good" so they will move for a long time! This gives us opportunities to practice her saying and signing "help, please" instead of just shrieking or holding the items out at me.

Also, she loves to see the cause and effect of winding making them move.
