Coach House Heart Fine Motor Board

The Coach House Heart Fine Motor Board is a versatile learning resource to encourage the development of fine motor skills by using the small muscles in the hand, wrist and fingers in the pincer grip. This heart shaped wooden board has 10 holes to hold small loose parts such as felt balls, beads or mandala pieces. 

Made from sustainable Beech wood, with a beautifully tactile natural oiled finish, the Heart Fine Motor Board is a great addition to your sensory play. Set up an invitation to play with trays or bowls of small loose parts such as small balls, beads, buttons or dried beans and using wooden tweezers or thumb and forefinger children can add these materials to the holes in the Heart Board, and practice their fine motor skills in the process. By building up strength and muscle memory in the hand, fine motor skills development is the precursor to learning to write with a pencil. 

In addition to fine motor skills, the Heart Fine Motor Board can also be used as a counting frame to maximise its learning potential. With 10 holes, this versatile educational resource can be used to explore numbers and number bonds, and number pairs e.g. 7+3=10. This wooden Fine Motor Board is a wonderful sensory resource and looks beautiful on the shelf as a decorative piece when not in play. It would make a fab gift teamed up with colourful wooden beads or felt balls for children who love creative play.
