Tall Towers Challenge
Parent and toddler build towers together using colored blocks, focusing on hand coordination, color recognition, and stacking precision. The agent coaches the parent to observe fine motor control, problem-solving during tower building, and persistence when structures fall — building foundational skills for later writing and tool use.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Parent and toddler sitting on floor or at low table with building blocks. Surface should be flat and stable. Blocks should be within easy reach of toddler. Ideal to have red and green blocks for color recognition component.
