As weird as it might sound I actually have to design a toy for a 1st grade child for an upcoming school project. It has to be a toy that is either educational or develops hand eye cordination. I have a few ideas of what to do but if you could give me a few of yours it would be much appriciated. Thanks!
What Are Some Toys That Are Either Educational Or Develop Good Hand Eye Cordination Skills?

There are countless “real” toys that did just that. I was always a lego kid. TRUST me! Any building toys such as Lego, Meccano, K-Nex, and Planko are highly educational. They teach kids how to read instructions (which is important and stimulating believe it or not) and also basic concepts about structures.
As for hand-eye coordination, there used to be a toy called “Bop-It”. This toy would yell commands and kids would have to manipulate it in a certain timeframe.
All of these toys were very good to me growing up lol. -
The only thing I can think of are those Nintendo DS games that are for giving you good hand eye coordination. Otherwise you could do a series of bulbs placed randomly on a board, and under each bulb there should be a word. Down on the bottom of the board should be another row of the same words. Somehow control the bulb (like touching a wire to the back of it) and when a bulb lights up, have them point/touch the word that matches the bulb down below. I honestly don’t know if that helps or not but gl.

Buy a pack of 50 Dixie cups and have him build cup walls or castles — then let him crash it by driving a toy car through it.
– concentration
– balance
– Patience
– coordination
– and it is a cheap toy , easy to store , when on gets smashed you just toss it
