Books to develop fine motor skills

Make Tracks Emergency

Babies and toddlers love using their hands and books are excellent tools for encouraging their fine motor skills. This selection of sturdy board books includes lots of flaps to lift, trails to follow with a finger and sliders to push and pull. Children love the fun of making things happen, and they don't necessarily need special features. Turning the page of any book brings a change of picture and demands excellent hand-eye coordination and pincer grip (or grasp).
