====Good visual perception is an important skill, especially for school success. Children need good visual perception to discriminate well, copy text accurately, develop visual memory of things observed, develop good eye-hand coordination and intergrate visual information while using other senses in order to perfform tasks like recognizing the source of a sound, etc.====

skills are important within many areas of development; visual perceptual and eye hand coordination. ||  || Blokus - Allows children to practice visual perceptual skills by creating pathways. These pathways are easily distinguishable beacuse of the bright colors. Blokus is great for the child who struggles with visual percetpual skill development. ||  || Block Buddies - Children copy the pattern cards to duplicate the pictures on the cards. These shapes are easily distinguishable from each other, both in color and shape. Having the child place the shapes oriented in the correct position helps the child to learn about directionality and how flipping shapes effects the overall design. ||
