HandiThings® WackWeb – Fine Motor Skills Mat
A soft felt mat designed with a colorful web of elastic and an enclosed bead, the WackWeb challenges users to move the bead along the track using their fingers. This engaging activity helps strengthen fine motor skills, finger isolation, and coordination, while also encouraging focus and problem-solving. Ideal for therapy sessions, classrooms, or home use, it’s a tactile, non-electronic tool perfect for developing dexterity in children and adults alike.

How to Use the HandiThings® WackWeb

1. Place the mat flat on a table or desk, with the elastic web facing up.

2. Locate the bead inside the elastic web.

3. Use your fingers (one or both hands) to push, pull, and guide the bead through the web’s pathways.

4. Vary the challenge:

   • Use only one hand.

   • Time yourself and try to beat your best score.

   • Use fingertips only to isolate finger movement.

5. Repeat regularly to strengthen finger dexterity, fine motor control, and hand-eye coordination.
