Why it helps

This activity provides opportunities for fine motor skills, bilateral coordination, and problem-solving skills.

This catch-a-bug activity provides the child with a fun chance to address fine motor skills.

Preparation:
Step 1: Lace yarn through a basket.
Step 2: Place toy bugs (i.e. figurines, erasers, etc.) on yarn.
Step 3: Have the child manipulate the tongs to retrieve the bugs.

 

For this activity, you can use any type of basket/container.
