Learning Resources Helping Hands – fine motor skills teaching aid

Learning Resources Helping Hands – teaching aid set

The Helping Hands tool set from Learning Resources is a teaching aid designed to practice fine motor skills in children aged 3 and up. The set has 24 pieces in six colors and includes four types of tools: Jumbo Tweezers, Handy Scoopers, Twisty Droppers and Squeezy Tweezers.

Practicing grip and precision

Each tool supports a different aspect of motor development: the squeeze tweezers teach the pincer grasp, the droppers strengthen the arches of the hand, the scoopers prepare children for using scissors, and the Gator Grabber tweezers guide the fingers into the correct pencil grip position. The tools work great in combination with sensory bins, counters or a water table.

Use in the classroom and at home

The set is designed for use in a preschool or classroom, but works just as well for motor skills practice at home. Teachers can use it to run structured activities that develop manual dexterity across a whole group.

Safety and construction

The pieces are made of durable plastic, require no batteries and are intended for repeated, hand-operated indoor use.
