We have used Finch with a variety of age groups. From the adorable
4-year old Norman, right through to a workshop with other educators.
There is a lot of good material available on the Finch Dreams
website:<br>

<br>
We have mostly used Finch as part of an Alice course, or just a way
to keep Norman busy while the rest of the kids in the one-room
school were doing other work. <br>
