MONTESSORI SCHOOL WRAP UP (MOTOR SKILLS)


Baby Cat is 24 months

I have been working on her fine motor skills, here are some of the activities we have done:


I purchased this shaker at the Dollar Tree along with these cute little plastic heart toothpicks, I like them because they do not go all the way in so they are easy for her to take in and out of the shaker.
Than with the same shaker we used the sticks from my boys Toy Story Kerplunk Game

With a spice shaker container we did the samething with toothpicks. She liked screwing the top on and off the best!

I purchased the little peg game in the dollar area at Target. She likes to place the pegs in the holes and than I gave her rubber bouncy balls to place on the tops of the pegs

We also did it with marbles

    I your idea with the shaker and toothpicks! It looks like she is concentrating and the toothpicks make it like a toy. Simple and effective! I'm excited to follow your blog!
