·        To make patterns and repeat patterns

·        Concepts of addition and subtraction

·        About symmetry, shapes, order, size, color and design

·        Eye-hand coordination, a reading skill

·        To classify and sort objects based on likenesses and differences

·        Numerical concepts of more and less

·        Logical reasoning

·        To notice details, similarities and differences in objects and to form categories, essential concepts of reading and mathematics

·        About negative and positive space, developing depth perception and the relationship between time and space

·        To develop fine motor control and coordination

·        To understand cause and effect
