Following the roads on the car mat is a pre-cursor to tracing and writing letters. Looking for the right building and place on the mat develops visual-perceptual skills.

Materials:

  • Car mat
  • Cars

Skills:

  • Pre-writing
  • Arm movement/ strength /range of motion
  • Visual perceptual skills
