Fine Motor Fun

Help me give my students interactive and exciting ways to improve their fine motor abilities!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sass's classroom raised $539

This project is fully funded

My Project

Fine motor skills are the base blocks of many school related skills such as cutting, writing, and glueing. It also is the base blocks of many life skills such as picking things up, zipping items, buttoning clothes, etc. Many young students struggle with their fine motor skills and children with disabilities sometimes have an even harder time developing their fine motor skills.

My goal is to provide students with fun, engaging, play based activities to trick them into improving their fine motor abilities!

By giving students access to these activities daily they will grow their fine motor abilities. This will help them grow in both school and life skills!
