Basic Skills Workbooks
I found some really great workbooks at ASIA BOOKS https://www.asiabooks.com/Default.aspx
bookstore here in Thailand that can help assist your child with basic skills. Such as motor skills, pencil control, reasoning, drawing, cutting, tracing, critical thinking skills and ability to use tools such as scissors and glue. They are KUMON workbooks and are from ages 2 and up. I have used the tracing, cutting & pasting (2 year old books) with my son and daughter they bot really enjoyed them.
