The Golf Tee Yarn Trail

Purpose

This activity helps your child build hand strength and coordination. Pushing the tees into the foam provides a fun challenge for small fingers. Lacing the yarn between the tees helps with planning and focus. It is a great way to practice using both hands together.


Activity Steps

Steps:

  • Place a block of Styrofoam on a flat table.
  • Use markers to draw several small circles on the foam.
  • Pick up a golf ball tee using your pinching fingers.
  • Push the tee straight down into one of the circles.
  • Repeat this until every circle has its own mountain.
  • Tie the end of a long piece of yarn to the first tee.
  • Guide the yarn around the other tees to make a trail.
  • Pull the yarn tight to see your colorful design!

Safety Tip:
Golf ball tees have sharp points. Please watch your child closely to keep them safe. Small items like tees and yarn can be a choking hazard.
