Welcome to Growing Hands-On Kids
Are you struggling to find age appropriate activities that build skills and challenge your child? Every child develops in a sequence of skills that are the building blocks for their future learning. Children need multiple opportunities to develop these skills in a variety of ways and learning styles.
I believe that all children can reach their fullest possible potential through hands-on play and activities.
My mission is to encourage independence, one activity at a time. The goal of this site is to provide resources, education, and encouragement for those raising or working with children of all abilities and ages.
Whether you are a parent, teacher, therapist or other professional, this site is for you. Welcome!
