About this deal
You can see from this pic that after I edged with a brush I rolled over with a small foam roller just to make sure my paint was evenly spread. My 13 month old is fascinated by all of the doors and latches, he hasn't learned to latch on his own, but is able to open almost every door independently, the colors and numbers reinforce other things that he is being taught and he doesn't seem bored easily with this toy.
When children play with this learning board, they will improve their grasping skills, hand-eye coordination, and more. Now that she’s adept at other stacking/twisting games, we decided the time was right to DIY one so we hit up our favorite local place when it comes to handware and hinges.There are so many alternative ways to improve manual dexterity at home, like playdough games, painting, washing berries, picking grains with fingers or gardening. I was worried that the latches would be easy to tear off the board with a son that is very strong for his age. The only fault I could find - and I had to work hard - is that some of the latches, when open, can prevent some of the doors from opening completely.
Our 15 mo old received this product as a Christmas present, so there are lots of other toys competing for his attention. With 14 different motor activities, your child will have endless fun while developing their fine motor skills.I used to volunteer at a nursing home in Louisiana, and the elderly folks used boards very similar to this one (that also had things like a zipper, a button, and a faucet) to practice things that they use every day.
