Question?
What has to be assembled
in each task kit?
ANSWER:
Every task set requires velcro (velcro is
supplied with each kit) to be applied, as well as lamination that is
strongly recommended. Depending on the task kit, some cutting, hole
punching, or gluing may be needed, but these are easy to do. Each
task set has varied requirements. For some task sets, you need to
supply a shoebox container or another easily obtainable container.
Please
see the descriptions on the Task Set page with each task.

What age group do you recommend the tasks for?
