Introduction
Creating this mini seat belt will help to develop your child's knowledge and understanding of the world around them, and how things work. The activity will also help to improve their hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills as they carefully cut and fold the card and use various materials to assemble the seat belt and holder. The make is a bit fiddly in places, so you will need to be on hand to help your child.
