My Project

Fine motor skills are something that every single person needs to learn. The best way to learn fine motor skills is through practice. The LEGO activity table, LEGOS and other materials would help give my students materials to start creating and building their muscles in their fingers, as well as their brain, to create and problem solve.

In a society that often relies on tech and screens, fine motor skills and creative skill building have fallen by the wayside.

As an art teacher I am constantly looking for new outlets and ways to incorporate learning these skills in fun and collaborative ways. Any help in giving my students an outlet for creativity as well as build fine motor skills would have a profound impact on not just their art projects, but their education careers.
