What?
Fastener Block is a childhood developmental toy. It helps boost fine motor skills for 3-5-year olds through imaginative and creative play.
Why?
In this digital age, children are overexposed with technology. Breaking this pattern and bringing them back to physical interaction is crucial.
How?
Fastener Block uses natural wood and fabric with everyday fasteners like snaps, buttons and an innovative mechanical lock to help fortify the use of smaller muscles in hands, fingers, and wrist.
Children can boost creativity by building character/s with Fastener Block and narrate imaginative stories.
