What will they learn?

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

In the Max the Mouse 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
  • Pinching and shaping clay
  • Peeling and placing stickers with precision

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: 

  • Kneading and rolling clay
  • Sliding the 3D house pieces together
  • Holding and decorating wooden components
