Fine Motor ABC
Fine motor activities are so important for young children. If you follow my blog, you know that I am a huge believer in learning through play. Almost all of my learning activities contain some hands-on aspect, so that children are able to access information through kinesthetic learning.

Alphabet Road Race & Numerals, Too!
There is nothing better than watching a child learn through play. When I create learning games for kids, I keep this thought in mind. Through the years I’ve found that any game with toy cars is sure to be a hit. Add them to letter and number tracing mats and kids can use the toy cars to trace letters and numbers. They will race their way to letter and numeral formation success. I love using the transportation themed tracing mats for lots of learning and tons of FUN!
