Dance: Chinese sticks

A pair of wooden sticks with bright satin ribbons that weave beautiful free-flowing patterns in the air as they are twirled.

Dancing is a great way to exercise, develop motor co-ordination, rhythm, and concentration skills. A group activity like dancing also helps build self esteem and is good for bonding with playmates.

The sticks are useful for children with special needs, as a tool to help them understand spatial positions and to encourage coordinated movement.
