Fine motor skills are small movements using the hands, fingers and wrists. Most kids learn how to perform these skills using their vision. Kids like Ruby who have visual impairments are often delayed in these skills because their lack of vision makes them even more challenging. They need to work extra hard to develop these skills and strengthen those muscles.

Workboxes like this one help Ruby to use her fine motor skills to twist and manipulate objects. It also challenges her to match the colors AND the shapes (each bolt shape is a different size).

She was just getting over a cold and double ear infection when she did this. I think she did an awesome job following directions and handling the increasing challenges I threw her way.
