Why it helps
Decorate a plastic box with beads to work on fine motor control, pincer grasp, and tactile perception. Choking risk: beads can be a choking hazard. Stay within arm's reach, and keep them away from children who still put things in their mouths.
Place the beads in an open container.
Ask the child to dip the paint brush in glue or for tactile perception use his fingers. Cover one side of the plastic container with glue.
Using 2 fingers pick up one bead at a time and stick it on the plastic container.
Rotate the plastic container and repeat covering each side with glue and sticking beads on it.
For grading, use the tweezers to pick up the beads and stick on the plastic container.
