markers pens for young children in preschools and childcare

Sunny Markers are marker pens that are short and thick in shape and size.

The markers are designed to support children to improve their fine motor skills and develop a functional pen grasp.

The wider barrel of our markers puts less strain on young children’s hand and finger muscles, making it easier to grip for a sustained time. The textured grip around the middle of the marker provides comfort.

Improving fine motor skills means children can progress more confidently and independently to do things like using pens, pencils, scissors, doing up buttons and opening and closing lunchboxes.

These markers are great for very young children. The markers are also popular with teacher aides and learning support workers in NZ Aotearoa who are supporting children with additional needs in supporting fine motor skill practice and development.

FamilyBoost changes a boost for higher income families – but they fail to even out the playing field for all whānau, the OECE says

Tweaks to FamilyBoost that will put more money back into the pockets of families with infants and young children in early childhood education will certainly be good news for many parents amid the cost of living crisis.

But the changes to the scheme announced today fail to address some of the problems that have prevented uptake – such ECE service providers failing to provide parents with compliant invoices.

The changes also seem to favour higher income families, who can afford higher fee-charging services, the Office of Early Childhood Education’s chief advisor, Dr Sarah Alexander, says.
