Isn't it reassuring to know that the classic toys we played with as children contained multiple opportunities for fine motor development and more? Perhaps the best news is those classic toys are still available today!

Our Wooden Classic Toys from Melissa & Doug naturally support development of young children. In terms of fine motor, classic toys allow children to experience a variety of shapes and weights in their hands to develop grasp patterns and get used to regulating different amounts of pressure in their hands (e.g. firm but gentle grasp pressure is necessary for managing a pencil effectively when writing). Beyond facilitating fine motor skills, Classic Toys facilitate other important skills such as:

• Math Skills
• Problem Solving
• Critical Thinking
• Organization Skills
• Speech and Language Skills
• Social Skills
