Preschoolers enjoy lifting boxes and simple manipulatives. Emphasize fine motor skills with beads and puzzles. Encourage creative, constructive play with art and building materials. Include social play through board and group games. Sponsored by the Iowa Child Welfare Research Station University of Iowa.
