Abstract

A method for developing fine motor skills of the hand, the method having the steps of manufacturing a fine-motor-skills-of-the-hand development workbook system that is made up of more than one workbook, wherein substantially all of the workbook pages are construction paper, and each of the workbooks are respectively made up of distinct printed subject matter and patterns; printing subject matter and patterns on each of the construction-paper pages that are to be inserted into each of the respective workbooks; inserting and binding the pre-printed construction-paper pages into each of the system's respective workbooks; and identifying and visually displaying each of the system's workbooks as having relatively different levels of complexity in the development of fine motor skills of the hand.

Claims (45)

1. A method for developing fine motor skills of the hand, the method comprising the steps:

manufacturing a fine-motor-skills-of-the-hand development workbook system that is made up of more than one workbook, wherein substantially all of the workbook pages are construction paper, and each of the workbooks are respectively made up of distinct printed subject matter and patterns;

printing subject matter and patterns on each of the construction-paper pages that are to be inserted into each of the respective workbooks;

inserting and binding the pre-printed construction-paper pages into each of the system's respective workbooks;

identifying and visually displaying each of the system's workbooks as having relatively different levels of complexity in the development of fine motor skills of the hand;

wherein the printed images are defined by broken lines; and

wherein the broken lines have a line width that decreases, relative to the line widths in the other workbooks, as the identified complexity of the workbooks increases.

2. A method for developing fine motor skills of the hand, the method comprising the steps:

manufacturing a fine-motor-skills-of-the-hand development workbook system that is made up of more than one workbook, wherein substantially all of the workbook pages are construction paper, and each of the workbooks are respectively made up of distinct printed subject matter and patterns;

printing subject matter and patterns on each of the construction-paper pages that are to be inserted into each of the respective workbooks;

inserting and binding the pre-printed construction-paper pages into each of the system's respective workbooks;

identifying and visually displaying each of the system's workbooks as having relatively different levels of complexity in the development of fine motor skills of the hand;

wherein the printed images are defined by broken lines; and

wherein each of the individual broken-lines have longitudinal lengths running in the direction of the broken line that decrease, relative to the broken-line lengths in the other workbooks, as the identified complexity of the workbooks increases.

3. A method for developing fine motor skills of the hand, the method comprising the steps:

manufacturing a fine-motor-skills-of-the-hand development workbook system that is made up of more than one workbook, wherein substantially all of the workbook pages are construction paper, and each of the workbooks are respectively made up of distinct printed subject matter and patterns;

printing subject matter and patterns on each of the construction-paper pages that are to be inserted into each of the respective workbooks;

inserting and binding the pre-printed construction-paper pages into each of the system's respective workbooks;

identifying and visually displaying each of the system's workbooks as having relatively different levels of complexity in the development of fine motor skills of the hand;

wherein the printed images are defined by broken lines; and

wherein the sum of the broken-line lengths that make up a printed image increase as the identified complexity of the workbooks increases.

4. A method for developing fine motor skills of the hand, the method comprising the steps:

manufacturing a fine-motor-skills-of-the-hand development workbook system that is made up of more than one workbook, wherein substantially all of the workbook pages are construction paper, and each of the workbooks are respectively made up of distinct printed subject matter and patterns;

printing subject matter and patterns on a sheet of construction-paper;

cutting the sheet of construction paper into two or more pages that are to be inserted into each of the respective workbooks;

inserting and binding the construction-paper pages into each of the system's respective workbooks;

identifying and visually displaying each of the system's workbooks as having relatively different levels of complexity in the development of fine motor skills of the hand;

wherein the printed images are defined by broken lines; and

wherein the broken lines have a line width that decreases, relative to the line widths in the other workbooks, as the identified complexity of the workbooks increases.

5. A method for developing fine motor skills of the hand, the method comprising the steps:

manufacturing a fine-motor-skills-of-the-hand development workbook system that is made up of more than one workbook, wherein substantially all of the workbook pages are construction paper, and each of the workbooks are respectively made up of distinct printed subject matter and patterns.

printing subject matter and patterns on a sheet of construction-paper;

cutting the sheet of construction paper into two or more pages that are to be inserted into each of the respective workbooks;

inserting and binding the construction-paper pages into each of the system's respective workbooks;

identifying and visually displaying each of the system's workbooks as having relatively different levels of complexity in the development of fine motor skills of the hand;

wherein the printed images are defined by broken lines; and

wherein each of the individual broken-lines have longitudinal lengths running in the direction of the broken line that decrease, relative to the broken-line lengths in the other workbooks, as the identified complexity of the workbooks increases.

6. A method for developing fine motor skills of the hand, the method comprising the steps:

manufacturing a fine-motor-skills-of-the-hand development workbook system that is made up of more than one workbook, wherein substantially all of the workbook pages are construction paper, and each of the workbooks are respectively made up of distinct printed subject matter and patterns;

printing subject matter and patterns on a sheet of construction-paper;

cutting the sheet of construction paper into two or more pages that are to be inserted into each of the respective workbooks;

inserting and binding the construction-paper pages into each of the system's respective workbooks;

identifying and visually displaying each of the system's workbooks as having relatively different levels of complexity in the development of fine motor skills of the hand;

wherein the printed images are defined by broken lines; and

wherein the sum of the broken-line lengths that make up a printed image increase as the identified complexity of the workbooks increases.
