Model making can offer a variety of benefits, both physical and mental. Working with small pieces, cutting, gluing, or assembling parts improves fine motor skills, hand strength, and hand-eye coordination. Model making requires planning, organising, and thinking critically, which enhances problem-solving abilities. Following instructions, remembering steps, and focusing on detail help improve short-term and long-term memory, as well as concentration. Wellbeing coordinator Paulo supported our resident Colin on Nickleby to engage in this pastime of his choice, selecting an Austin Martin model making kit to combine the activity with Colin’s love of cars . We can’t wait to see the finished product!
