Fantastic Fingers® Fine Motor Skill Builders

 

In my occupational therapy practice, I recommend Fine Motor Skill Builders to parents & teachers who want an economical, easy to implement & systematic way to improve their child's or students' fine motor skills.

 

Some families can't afford OT, have difficulty accessing services or want to accelerate their child's progress at home. Teachers tell me that increasing numbers of students are staring school with under developed motor foundations for learning.

​

This 54 page product is available as a set of 3 PDF booklets:

• For children between ages 3.5 & 8 years
