My daughter's favorite toy. Many people call it a magic wand
. We started calling it Grace's "up-down bar" and that name stuck. We use this to play "up-down" with hands, "row, row, row your boat," twisting, "wheels on the bus," and more. Grace also holds on to it when she is doing an activity that throws off her sense of balance. When she is holding the bar, she is "in control" of the motion. If she drops the bar or lets go of the bar with 1 hand, then the motion stops. When she picks the bar back up, the motion can go again, etc. For example, we try daily spins in a swivel chair. Grace is much more comfortable with this activity if she is holding the bar. It's like her steering wheel on the chair.
