Block Tower Play
Parent and child build block towers together, then use a stuffed animal to knock them down. The agent coaches the parent to observe fine motor coordination, cause-effect understanding, and imitation skills — fostering hand-eye coordination and playful learning through constructive play.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
