    What will they learn?

    In the Busy Bee project 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: 

    • Controlled painting
    • Fine grip skills
    • Peeling stickers 

    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: 

    • Rolling & applying pressure
    • Folding paper
    • Sliding parts
