Synopsis

This book presents a series of accessible practical exercises that are designed to improve hand-eye coordination and develop numerous mental faculties and capabilities.

The author, a science demonstrator for the Liverpool School Board, has structured the book such that each exercise builds on previous ones, allowing children to progress gradually while gaining knowledge through practical experience. The exercises themselves are varied and cover a wide range of activities such as drawing, paper cutting, and wire and clay modeling. Some exercises are open-ended, allowing the children to develop their own designs and solutions, thereby fostering creativity and problem-solving skills. This book has had a lasting impact on the field of early childhood education, providing a valuable resource that supports and nurtures children's cognitive, creative, and psychomotor development.
