• Developed fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination while drawing and coloring their own Angry Birds characters
• Explored the concept of storytelling by creating their own narratives based on the characters and scenes in the game
• Learned about spatial relationships and proportions through designing and building structures for their birds to launch at

For continued development, encourage the child to create their own Angry Birds-themed artwork, such as making a collage or diorama depicting a scene from the game.
