When my three year-old looked at me with his big blue eyes and asked for help “writing like his daddy”, I immediately launched into super mommy mode – pulling together 18 motivating games that would develop his hand-eye coordination, arm and hand strength and grasp. The mega pack of fine motor activities is perfect to use as centers or homeschool lessons.

Great question, Mariah! The pre-writing activity pack includes activities for children as young as three and other games for kids with more hand strength and fine motor skills {around 4-5}. 🙂
