Fun work task!

August 02, 2024 - By Jenell Meyokovichfrom Masontown, PA

I use these nuts and bolts as a color sort and fine motor. I work in a special needs classroom and my behavior techs and I rotate which hand the student/s uses to place the nut on the bolt. This supports their skill ability with non-dominant hand as well dominant. At times we hand to them to cross midline Super fun to watch them spineven the adults love them!

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Motivating color sorting activity

March 05, 2023 - By Beccafrom Illinois

I teach special needs pre-schoolers, and this is a motivating activity to teach colors and color sorting. Students can be given 2 or more colors at a time dependent on ability level. Many students enjoy this activity, so they remain engaged for longer periods.

Yes, I would recommend this product.
