This project is recommended for kids age 9.
At age 9, kids are developing fine motor abilities that benefit from a variety of explorations in tools and tasks. Kids are building confidence in copying and producing final drafts. At this age, kids are easily encouraged by success- now is the perfect time to build love of learning through confidence-building activities!
