An overgrown sheep has wandered into the salon, and it's your student's job to give it a haircut. Kids pinch two fingers together like scissors and sweep across the wool, and each clump snips off and falls to the floor.

Once all the wool is gone, the fun part unlocks: dressing the sheep up with 30 accessories, from pirate hats to princess crowns to firefighter gear. It's a fun, engaging way to promote pincer grasp without any cleanup!
