Hafa Adai Aunt Loling,

Thank you for sharing the device! This device would be great for building fine motor skills, games, creative and interactive learning, team building and other cooperative learning activities. I would interchange the pieces with color patterns, pictures, words, and other meaningful and motivating learning.
