My Project

Help me give my students fine motor kits. My students are lacking some crucial skills that they need for school and one of those skills is fine motor. Fine motor is SO IMPORTANT because without fine motor skills, students will have difficulties with tasks such as writing, independence in the restroom, eating, cutting and a variety of other things. While we work on these skills at school daily, I would like to put together some fine motor kits so that each of my students will be able to also work on these skills before school starts.

Fine motor skills are essential for learning.

Students are using tablets which debilitate their fine motor functioning.

Developed fine motor skills will enhance students' success in various capacities. Children learn by doing and having fun which will result in continuous improvement in fine motor skill development. All these materials will enhance children to improve in fine motor skills resulting in success with daily activities in their lives.
