A few things you might be wondering
What ages is ZiggleZoo for?
ZiggleZoo is for ages 3+. Start with simple animal actions and add matching, memory, or movement sequences as children grow. An adult can model the actions and adapt the activities to the child.
Can children play alone or in a group?
Both! Choose solo movement play, take turns with a partner, or use a group activity. The booklet includes options for families, classrooms, and therapy settings.
Does my child need to read?
An adult can read the prompts and demonstrate the movements. Children can follow the animal pictures and copy the actions, so play can be adapted for children who are not yet reading.
