Tools for Tiny Hands
Tools for Tiny Hands is a kit for children ages 2 to 5 and their adults. It’s filled with tools and ideas that help your child develop and practice their fine motor skills.
Fine motor skills are the ability to make small movements with the fingers, hands, and wrists – like drawing with a crayon and zipping a jacket. They are skills that your child needs for everyday life and for success in school.
