All About Me Family Counters (72 pieces)

Little people, big possibilities—for play, language, and OT goals. All About Me Family Counters are bright, durable mini-figures that kids can sort, stack, line up, and use for pretend play. They're great inexpensive family figures for play therapy. They’re also a favorite in pediatric OT because the pieces are easy to grasp, highly motivating, and perfect for building early fine motor and pre-academic skills through play-based activities.

• 72-piece set: includes multiple family characters in 6 vibrant colors for endless sorting and play.
• Hands-on & durable: sturdy plastic counters that hold up to frequent classroom and therapy use.
• Great for imaginative play: simple, neutral figures invite kids to create their own stories and routines.
• Easy storage: comes in a handy container for grab-and-go sessions and quick clean-up.

Why occupational therapists love them: These counters are incredibly versatile for goal-based play. Use them to support:

• Fine motor skills: pincer grasp, tripod pinch, in-hand manipulation, and controlled release
• Visual-motor integration: copying patterns, matching, and building simple “people” designs
• Bilateral coordination: one hand stabilizes a cup/tray while the other sorts and places
• Executive functioning: following directions, sequencing, sorting rules, and clean-up routines
• Social-emotional learning: role play (family routines, feelings, problem-solving) in a low-pressure format
• Language support: describing, categorizing, and storytelling (great for OT/SLP collaboration)

OT-friendly activity ideas:

• “Build my family” sort: sort by color or type, then create “families” (great for attention + categorization).
• Pick-up tools challenge: use tongs, tweezers, or clothespins to move counters into cups for hand strength and precision.
• Pattern cards: make simple color patterns (AB, AAB, ABC) for visual scanning and sequencing.
• Obstacle course delivery: carry one counter at a time while crab-walking/bear-walking to add whole-body regulation.
• Story starters: “Who is this? Where are they going? What happens next?” to build planning and narrative skills.

Great for: play therapy, counseling sessions, OT sessions, preschool classrooms, calm corners, and home play that quietly builds skill through pretend play.
