These five motor toys will really help my littles with their fine motor skills. I am a first year teacher and the classroom I came into did not have any of the items here on my list. You are helping students at a Title 1 school to have the same nice toys as other schools. Most of my students come from lower socioeconomic backgrounds and many are also ESL learners. My autistic learners would love more sensory toys to use in the classroom. I would love to put in a sensory wall in our motor lab but that’s for another project.
