Building Fine Motor Skills

Help me give my students tools to assist in building their fine motor skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Brown's classroom raised $550

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are very unique and creative. My students enjoy drawing, coloring and creating art. Most of my students receive occupational therapy in order to assist in building their fine motor skills, self-regulation skills and attention to task. These materials will assist my students in strengthening their hand muscles, creating visual boundaries, developing hand and eye coordination and many other essential skills to their overall development. These materials will allow students to safely work independently as well as in a group. My students would benefit greatly from each of these materials within our classroom setting.
