EDUCATIONAL SPRINKLES:

The Wonder Day Board serves as an interactive daily planner that fosters various skills:

1. Cognitive development: By engaging with different aspects of their day, children strengthen their problem-solving skills. The sections for word and math problem of the day help enhance their literacy and numeracy.
2. Emotional and social development: The board encourages children to acknowledge and express their emotions. Also, by sharing their day's plan or experiences, they can enhance their communication skills.
3. Fine motor skills: Handling the small pieces to update the board aids in developing fine motor skills.
4. Responsibility: Regularly updating the board helps in cultivating a sense of responsibility and routine.
5. Learning about time, seasons, and weather: The board serves as a fun tool to introduce children to these concepts.
