Super fun! Pick and egg and open it up to find a block inside! Use the blocks to build different creations! This activity improves grasping, eye/hand coordination, matching, motor planning, and visual motor skills! So fun! Have fun creating!
Placing the blocks in the eggs and placing them back into the container is a great way to improve grasping and visual skills!
