Spoon Glide Seesaw
Purpose
This activity helps your child coordinate their eyes with their hand movements. They must use both hands to balance the board while focusing on a moving target. It builds the tiny muscles in their fingers which are important for writing later. Plus, it is a fun way to practice staying calm and focused!
Activity Steps
Steps:
- Tape two long cardboard strips side-by-side to make a wide path.
- Draw a colorful zigzag line down the middle with markers.
- Place a ping pong ball at the start of the path.
- Give your child a spoon.
- Ask them to hold the cardboard track with both hands.
- Tilt the board left and right to roll the ball.
- Use the spoon in one hand to keep the ball on the line.
Safety Tip:
Always supervise your child during play to ensure they use the spoon and ball safely.
