Baking Cup Coin Balance

Purpose

This activity helps children develop precision and steady hands. By floating paper cups, they practice careful movement. Placing coins one by one requires great control. It is a wonderful way to build focus!


Activity Steps

Steps:

  • Fill the Aluminium Foil Pan halfway with clear water.
  • Place one Baking Cup carefully onto the water surface.
  • Use a pincer grasp to pick up one coin.
  • Gently drop the coin into the center of the cup.
  • Continue adding coins to see how many it carries.
  • Try to keep the cup from tipping or sinking.

Safety Tip:
Constant adult supervision is required. Coins are small objects and pose a significant choking hazard. Ensure all materials are used only as intended and collected after play.
