Help me give my students high quality learning manipulatives to improve their fine motor skills!

My Project

My students are unique learners who learn best with hands-on manipulatives and engaging activities. Seeing them grow and succeed when they are engaged and active in their learning is one of the best feelings in the world!

Fine motor skills are needed in everyday life.

Whether it's writing in class, tying shoes, or manipulating small objects, my students need continued practice with these types of skills in order to be successful in life. These Snap Build Sight Words, Super Fun Marble Run, and other activities will provide the opportunity for daily learning and practice in fun and exciting ways!
