Why it helps
This activity provides opportunities for fine motor skills, bilateral coordination, and problem-solving skills. Choking risk: small pegs can be a choking hazard. Stay within arm's reach, and keep them away from children who still put things in their mouths.
This color-coding activity provides the child with a fun chance to address fine motor skills and bilateral coordination.
Preparation:
Step 1: Draw a code sheet: a row of colored dots (for example red, blue, yellow) using the same colors as your golf tees.
Step 2: Cut a portion of the pool noodle.
Step 3: Have your child push the golf tees into the pool noodle piece in the same color order as the dots on the code sheet.
*Be sure to provide necessary assistance as the bottom of the golf ball tee is pointed.
