    This is a great game to improve fine motor skills
    This is a great game to improve fine motor skills. I decided too get this game because my son is 4 years old and he has a hard time gripping a pencil or crayon. I looked at different games you can play that helped with fine motor skills and they all had the pincers. So I figured why not and I tried it. The game allows up too 4 players. I played the first round with my son and the pincers had bit of resistance so i can see how it will help his fine motor skills. The stand is made out of cardboard and it stays standing because of a ribbon that is attached. I personally believe that if the kids take care of the game then the board game will last.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great game while strengthening hand coordination
    Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2020
    My 4 year old son can write all of his letters. However, his penmanship and the way he grips the pencil needs some help.
    This has been a great game and a great tool to hopefully strengthen his hand muscles. His pre-school teacher has been using the tweezers in the classroom during hands on activities to improve those gross motor skills.
    I like that the "fruit stand" can be adjusted for different levels of difficulty. I've attached a picture...marble is for reference.
    Great game and great way to help my son while having fun.
