For most of my three year old students, these board books helped them strengthen their fine motor skills, such as the pincer grasp and hand-eye coordination as they turned each thick page of the books. My students enjoyed looking at the colorful illustrations, while reciting their alphabet, numbers, shapes and colors. These books have such great durability, that my future students will enjoy them as well!
