Fine Motor Game - Beehives

Strengthen your child’s fine motor skills with these charming wooden beehives.  Each little bee has its own colour—and its own matching hive.  

Chat about the bees and their colours while your child practises picking them up with tweezers or their fingers, then sorting them into the right homes. 

Using the tweezers helps strengthen your child’s pincer grip—the foundation for a good pencil grip later on. 

Did you know that bees play an important role in pollinating fruit trees? That’s how we get tasty pears, juicy plums, and delicious apple sauce.

The beehives can be arranged in a circle or stacked up to build fun little towers.

Here, essential skills are stimulated, which are wonderful for your child's well-being and ability to learn:

• This is a way for your child to stimulate their proprioception, which strengthens your child's concentration skills and builds up their confidence to use their body in other types of physical play.
• Inspires your child to hold and control various writing tools.

Measures 4 x 5 x 5 cm.
Suitable for ages 3 yrs. to 6 yrs.

If you miss having the remote, your hair clips, the fridge magnets, and your keys to yourself, then get your child a sensory fidget kit to turn, twist, and tinker with, like this one. The play can boost your child's confidence and make them feel good at tinkering. And that can boost your child's courage to take on new challenges.
