Fine Motor Skills
Learning Objective:
To work to strengthen and develop pincer grip and hand to eye coordination.
You will need:
pom poms / cotton balls / rocks
egg boxes / small containers
tongs / scoops / tweezers / pegs
Learning activity:
Ask your child to use tongs / pegs / tweezers / scoops / cooking tongs etc to pick up pom poms / cotton balls / rocks / cones etc and place them in egg boxes / ice trays (or other small containers). This activity supports developing your child's eye to hand coordination, dexterity and concentration
Other ideas:
Make frozen eggs using balloons filled with (coloured) water and whatever you can find in your house such as small world characters / pom poms / pebbles. Tie the balloon and leave it in the freezer overnight. Explore the egg the next morning - what has happened? Why / how did it happen?
