Expert tip
Peel-and-place activities combine tactile-sensory input with visual-spatial target alignment. For children with high energy levels or ADHD traits, this structured, low-frustration activity provides predictable visual steps. Placing each foam piece triggers micro-doses of dopamine, helping quiet motor restlessness, extend focus intervals, and boost self-efficacy.
