My Project

These are Early Head start children who most are under the poverty guidelines. These children need more opportunities to use their hands as fine motor is an important skill in the early years.

These various building blocks sets will help with fine motor skills.

With an emphasis on creative thinking, learning, and growing all the while strengthening hands to build unique structures. Having various block set will set these children up for success tapping into their creative thinking. When a toddler uses his hands to build it is laying the ground work for later years learning to hold a pencil and write.
