What will they learn?

Dabble & Co. projects nurture creativity while building lifelong skills through hands-on making. 

In the Fiona the Whale mission, kids practice their: 

Fine Motor Skills

When kids' fine motor skills improve, tasks cost them less effort which in turn boosts their motivation, attention, and independence. Some of the fine motor skills practiced in this project include: 

  • Fine grip control
  • Working with multiple materials
  • Painting small details and components

Executive Skills

These are the control functions of the brain that we all need to solve problems, regulate our emotions, and work purposefully at school and at home. In this project we practice executive skills by: 

  • Following a plan 
  • Organization 
  • Focus and attention 
  • Working memory 
  • Flexibility 

Two-Handed Collaboration

Each hand is controlled by a different side of the brain, so two-handed tasks help create faster information exchange and stronger connections. In this project kids practice two-handed collaboration through: 

  • Cutting
  • Gluing materials
  • Sliding parts together to assemble the 3D ship and whales

What skills will my kids learn from Dabble & Co. craft kits?

Dabble & Co. projects go beyond just fun; they are designed to nurture lifelong skills through hands-on making. Creativity helps build essential childhood development milestones, including:
