A nice activity, given to us by Donna from the UK…

What did you do?

For this activity, I used wooden skewers and stuck them into play-dough.

I then filled 3 bowls up with different objects:

  1. cereals
  2. pasta
  3. plastic jewelry objects

Sofia then picked out the objects and put them on the skewers.

This activity is designed to improve and strengthen children’s motor/dexterity skills to help them hold a pen/pencil correctly.

Do you have any tips to help others doing this?

My tip with this one is making sure you use big enough pasta to go through the skewers. I did use small ones at first and it didn’t go through.
