Pattern PDF

A fun game to develop fine motor skills.

This pretty awakening fish is much more than a simple toy: it helps young children develop their fine motor skills while having fun! Thanks to the different dressing fasteners to choose and sew, it becomes an excellent learning tool:

Buttons and buttonholes: to learn how to button a shirt or pants

Zipper: ideal for practicing opening and closing a coat or a pouch

Laces: perfect for practicing tying and knotting shoes

Snaps and Velcro: to strengthen the coordination of little hands

Customizable according to needs, this Montessori awakening fish is an activity that supports children in their autonomy, while remaining an original and zero-waste sewing project.

• Matching cotton fabric for the fasteners
