Sounds like v successful gift giving. My parents always do that giving more away than they need to thing with D – infact they are often so busy *helping* him that they miss what he is trying to impress them with and he gets bored and gives up.
Will see if local ELC still has playdough bits and pick you some up to post you next time I’m in town.

I don’t know! I’ve not noticed blank middle lines … must have a look tomorrow! I don’t think the drawing of the patterns matters that much, it’s being able to ‘see’ the pattern that’s the important thing,s urely?

Dot to dots are Joe’s big fave here and they’ve helped enormously with pencil control …

good oh! SB doesn’t do any of it exactly – as we often do it with pencil, so we ring and scribble over rather than colour. Her fine motor control not brill for writing – roll on June and getty dubay! So the pages look a mess when finished, but we are doing lots of tracing.
