My Project

Fine motor is hard for some children.

These light up learning trays foster independence with fun handwriting practice for children.

They choose a card then trace the letter or number in the sand with a stylus or their finger and watch it glow. This is an engaging, hands-on activity that engages multiple senses while building hand strength, fine motor skills, and hand eye coordination. We will be able to use these one on one with the students or in small group. They will be having so much fun they won't know they are building fine motor skills.
