FINE MOTOR FOCUS ✏️

A focus on fine motor skills is now more important than ever! In a world driven by technology, the opportunities for us to engage in meaningful occupations with our hands is declining. With a gadget for this, computer for that we have become more sedentary, including our kids!

That’s why encouraging hands-on play – building with blocks, drawing, cooking, or even helping out on the farm – is so incredibly valuable.

It’s not just play, it’s skills for life. 🌟

LFOT will be closed from Tuesday-Friday this week as I head home to support my Mum with a long awaited hip replacement.

I will be back on deck, all going well from the 18th of August.

Thank you for your understanding,
