Fine Motor Activity (Hand-Eye Coordination)

 

December 3, 2015

Noticing the children's frequent use of their hands and fingers while playing, and their love and affinity for animals, we figured out a play experience where they can both learn and have fun.

 

Pictures of different kinds of animals were printed twice, big and small. The small pictures were taped on a clothespin while the bigger pictures were taped and hung on a rope.

The children seemed happy to see the pictures of animals.

 

One child watches while the other child tries to clip the clothespin with the small animal to its matching picture.

 

 The other children started doing the same thing.

 

The children were having a hard time with the clothespin, so we decided not to use the clothespins and use just the tape to stick them on their matching pictures instead.

 

 

Working together!

 

 

 Through this play experience, the children learned:

• hand-eye coordination as they matched the small pictures with the big pictures
• different sizes (big and small)
• cooperation and helpfulness with their friends
