Baltracker

My toddler actually sits still for this, which says a lot for a two year old. Watching the balls roll left to right really does seem to be building that tracking motion before he ever picks up a crayon. The grooves keep the balls from flying off the table too, so I'm not chasing them across the floo

My two-year-old figured out the left-to-right tracking motion within a day, and now she does it over and over without any help from me. The wooden balls are the perfect size for her small hands, and I love that it quietly builds the skills she'll need for reading later.

The little ball rolls smoothly from the top slot down to the bottom and my two-year-old tracks it with her eyes every single time. I've noticed her doing the same left-to-right motion when I read to her now, which is exactly what I was hoping for.
