As a parent of a five year old, I worry whether or not he is really ready to start Kindergarten this fall. How can I make sure he is prepared for the first day of school? Look no further.  Grasshopper Preschool Prep Kits contain all the materials needed to make sure your 3-5 year old develops all the necessary fine motor skills needed to be successful in school.

I will let you in on a secret, in my secret life I am a pediatric occupational therapist. I work with children all day long and love it. When I first saw the Grasshopper Preschool Prep Kits I was intrigued. When I opened up my kit, Getting Our Hands Ready, I was instantly in love.  Each of the four Grasshopper Kits contain 10 hands-on games designed to get kids fine motor skills on track for writing, cutting and success in school. The best part, you work on all these skills through fun games.

Rachel Rudman took her skills as an occupational therapist and created a parent friendly, play centered program for parents to do with their children at home. What I loved is that each activity has easy to understand directions as well as an explanation as to why your child needs to learn that skill. An added bonus: each activity can be modified up or down depending on your child’s ability.

As a therapist I feel these kits are a ‘must‘ for any preschool program. As a Mom I am glad I have this resource to help my child be the best he can be and possibly make those first few days of Kindergarten a little bit easier.
