Gives me some ideas for my students! (ESL)
I love finding activities that are fun for the kids but also build on some motor or developmental skills. And these work great! And they keep them interested in new things and way to go about doing stuff, like thinking through how to get out of a maze. Great ideas!
Love these activities! In my opinion, kids don’t do enough stuff like this these days, everything is so centered upon technology & devices!

These are great activities for kids! Keep them away from the electronics as long as possible.
