Preschool Ready with Glo Pals: Tools to Support Development Through Play
WRITTEN BY: JESSIE KOZAK
Starting preschool is a big milestone for little learners, and their grown-ups too! While brand new backpacks and lunchboxes are exciting, school readiness goes beyond supplies. It’s about building the skills kids need to thrive in a classroom setting. Such as, independence, fine motor strength, emotional regulation, and more.
At Glo Pals, we believe that play is the most powerful way to prepare. That’s why we’ve created tools that support early development through hands-on, light up fun. Whether you’re prepping your preschooler this summer or supporting them through their first big year, here are three must-have products designed to help with benefits that last far beyond the first day of school.
Building Fine Motor Confidence With Pick-Up Pals
Pick-Up Pals offer endless opportunities to strengthen hand muscles and coordination! These skills are essential for school readiness. Fine motor control plays a big role in everyday tasks like holding a pencil, using scissors, and zipping up a backpack. With Pick-Up Pals, kids can build hand strength and control in a playful, low-pressure way! No worksheets required!
Encouraging Calm and Curiosity With The Sensory Play Jar
The Sensory Play Jar supports emotional regulation by helping children learn how to calm their bodies in a soothing, hands-on way. It also offers a gentle introduction to cause and effect, scientific exploration, and independent play. Add Fun Fillers to customize the jar and create a one-of-a-kind calming tool tailored to your child’s interests. Whether you’re practicing calm-down routines, exploring light and color, or sparking meaningful conversations about emotions, the Sensory Play Jar makes it both engaging and effective.
Brighten Up Playtime With Light-Up Cubes + Characters
Just add water! The Light-Up Cubes and Characters are designed to surprise and make playtime magical all while encouraging sensory exploration, early STEM discovery, and imaginative play. They offer a hands-on way for preschoolers to explore curiosity and experimentation which are key components of cognitive development! They also support skills like color recognition, sorting, and pretend play.
With the right tools, everyday play can build the skills your child needs to feel confident and capable when they walk into their classroom.
With Glo Pals, you’re not just prepping for preschool, you’re setting the stage for a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.
