My Project

I will add these pieces to my Art Library and use these projects at different times of class time to encourage students fine motor skills, express their creativity and develop problem solving.

Spoiler Alert: Kids love these and don't even know they are learning!

These projects will support my youngest learners fine motor skills which don't always get used in our increasingly digital world. Fine motor skills, involving small, precise movements with hands and fingers, offers benefits such as improved eye-hand coordination and enhanced writing and drawing abilities which also boosts academic performance.
