I focus a lot more on fine motor skills and problem-solving skills for V. This wooden geo board is a great activity to learn the basic shapes. You can also practice standing or slanting lines and other patterns. It helps enhance those fine motor skills.
Veda who doesn’t like to play with toys has been spending hours with this Geoboard & practising her fine motor skills without any frustration.
Benefits of Geoboard-
- Improve fine motor skills
- The rubber bands provides resistance & helps in hand strengthening
- Improves hand- eye coordination
- Kids can learn basic shapes, patterns.
- Improving Visual skills,
- Improves Bilateral-Coordination.
I usually try to add challenges in this activity like,
- providing small rubber bands to improve the grip.
- using only one hand to stretch the rubber band.
- making different patterns.
Using rubber bands, and stretching them is not easy for her due to low muscle tone, so basically it’s a good workout for those tiny finger muscles.
