The Pincer Mask Maker
Purpose
This fun mask activity is perfect for working on your child's hand muscles. By picking up small beans and tiny sequins, your child builds the pincer grasp needed for writing. Tearing and cutting the bag helps both hands work together. It also encourages creative play as they design a new face. It is a great way to improve focus while having a blast.
Activity Steps
Steps:
- Draw two large eye circles on a paper bag.
- Help your child cut out the eyes.
- Spread glue around the eyes.
- Use a pincer grasp to pick up one bean at a time.
- Press the beans into the glue to make eyebrows.
- Add sequins for a sparkly nose.
- Slide the bag over your head to reveal your new face!
Safety Tip:
Supervise your child closely while using scissors. Small beans and sequins can be a choking hazard. Keep all small parts away from the mouth.
