⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This is the resource that started it all for my classroom transformation! I bought this and started using fine motor tubs as morning work instead of worksheets. It was life-changing for my class and for me. We spend our morning time with a soft start and we are all so much happier. Bonus, I get to help develop the ever-important fine motor muscles. This is a must-have in kindergarten, for sure!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I initially used the activities for centers with my students. I loved the differentiation component and fine motor skills involved! As the years pass and the need for incoming children intensifies, I am so excited to utilize these as intended: No paper, morning workstations! This summer has been filled with learning about the best practices for teaching our children now! I have been obsessed with Marsha's work and she ALWAYS has amazing products, advice, and practices!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This is probably one of the best items I have purchased on TPT. It is exactly what my students needed to build upon their fine motor skills in fun ways. I have even gone back a purchased the monthly themed packs! This recourse is organized very well and thoughtfully put together. It was really helpful to read about it on her blog too! Thanks again!"
