The pop-up toy is a very popular activity among young children. The object of this activity is for children to manipulate the different knobs on the toy using their hands and fingers in order to reveal what is hidden underneath. Once revealed, they will push the characters down and do it all over again. This activity helps promote fine motor skills and cognitive skills such as problem solving as well as cause and effect.
