Pom-poms & tweezers

10/18/2012

    Most days I try to set out something in our environment that is new for the day and invites the kids to explore it as a self-led activity.  Today's invitation to play was a tub full of fuzzy craft pom-poms, some varying sized ice cube trays, and a jar of tweezers and clothespins.

    The kids really enjoyed this one and as you can see, as soon as it was discovered, they all gathered in close to check it out!  Right away they started doing what I had planned for them to do with these materials (which is not always the case!), and used the tweezers and clothespins to pinch the pom-poms and drop them into the compartments of the trays.

    The tools they were using are great for developing their fine motor skills, and they even worked in a bit of patterning, which is a pre-math skill, as well as pre-reading.  And the kids kept coming back to the tub to play some more throughout the day, so this will have to be a new one to add into our rotation!
