| Gallery label | Developing motor skills
Motor skills are our body’s ability to manage movement – from fine skills, like grasping with fingers, to gross skills, like walking. They are a combination of our brains, nervous systems and muscles all working together.
Children develop motor skills as they grow up from babyhood. The toys here help babies learn from experience.
