FCCRS 2.4 – Fine Motor
Children strengthen fine motor skills as they grasp, stack, balance, sort, and arrange the wood rounds. These motions build hand strength, dexterity, and coordination—skills essential for writing, self-help tasks, and tool use.
FCCRS 3.1 – Art and Sensory Experiences
The texture, weight, and natural imperfections of the wood rounds provide a sensory-rich experience. Children can explore differences in size, grain, and color, or use them with dough or paint as stamping tools—offering both tactile and creative exploration.
FCCRS 3.4 – Nature/Science
These real, unprocessed wood pieces foster meaningful interaction with natural materials. Children learn about wood as a material, observe growth rings and bark textures, and use them in nature-based discovery activities. This supports inquiry, observation, and early science skills.
FCCRS 3.3 – Blocks and Accessories
When used in block play, these rounds function as accessories to build small structures, balance towers, or serve as “stepping stones” or “wheels” in imaginative scenarios—enhancing the variety and complexity of children’s play.
FCCRS 3.2 – Dramatic Play
Children often use natural materials as props in dramatic play. Wood rounds may become pretend food, coins, or forest treasures—supporting creativity, narrative thinking, and symbolic representation.
