Crocodile Activity Wall Panel

The Crocodile Activity Wall Panels are a five-panel busy board shaped like a long green crocodile, with eleven hands-on activities running snout to tail. Children work two shape sliders, tap a wooden percussion instrument and a xylophone, trace a magnetic pen through a maze and around balls, spin a disc maze, follow three separate wire bead mazes, turn interlocking cogs, and catch their reflection in a mirror. At just over six feet long, the crocodile stretches across a wall and gives more than one child room to play side by side, all without using a square inch of floor space.

Between the spinning disc maze, the magnetic pen maze, and three separate wire bead mazes, the crocodile is built around path-tracing and tracking more than any other panel in the line, which makes it a strong pick where visual tracking and hand control are the focus. At just over six feet, the five-panel span also gives it the length for more than one child to work different sections at once. Where These Work Best Playrooms and Bedrooms Mounted along a playroom or bedroom wall at a child's height, the crocodile turns a long blank stretch of wall into an eleven-station activity center without taking up any floor space. With one or two children using it and a parent nearby, the many stations get explored thoroughly and the panel holds up well to everyday play. The bold green crocodile shape makes it a natural centerpiece children return to on their own. Home Daycares and Small Group Settings The length earns its keep here. In a home daycare or small in-home program where a handful of children share the space and an adult is always present, two or three children can play side by side at different stations, which makes it a natural setting for early sharing and turn-taking. Wall mounting keeps the floor clear for other activities. Home Fine-Motor and Visual Tracking Practice With five different mazes plus cogs and sliders, the crocodile leans heavily toward path-tracing and visual tracking. For a parent or therapist guiding a home fine-motor routine, that lets you work hand control and eye tracking across several stations in one session, and grade the difficulty from the simpler bead mazes up to the magnetic pen maze, all in a format children read as play rather than exercise. 11 activities across five panels: 2 shape sliders, wooden percussion instrument, xylophone, mirror, magnetic pen and balls, spinning disc maze, 3 wire bead mazes, interlocking cogs 74 inches long, room for two or three children to play side by side Built around mazes and path-tracing, strong for visual tracking and hand control Mounts flat to the wall, adds an activity center without using floor space Constructed with MDF, best suited to supervised play Five panels include pre-drilled fixing holes, screws, and mounting instructions For ages 18 months and up, PreK and up Indoor use only Made by Learning Advantage
