Fine-motor Block

I share my office-cubicle with a lovely young woman named Chrissy, who has the most adorable little boy named Alex. 

Knowing that I was kinda handy around a sewing machine, one Friday afternoon in the office Chrissy asked if I could make a fine-motor block for her son.  She’d had one as a little girl and loved it… and wanted Alex to have one too; however, she had not be able to find one anywhere.   She did a very good job explaining exactly what was on her “fine motor block” was so I knew what she wanted.  Chrissy gave me carte blanche as to fabrics, etc… so off I went to raid my fabric remnants.  This is what I came up with….

“A” is for Alex

“C” is for Chrissy

Lace up and tie

Button

Zip

Velcro pocket

…with a goldfish!

No, I won’t be going into production with these… but I’m glad to know that the fine motor block was played with and enjoyed by Master Alex and his mom!
