Why it helps
This activity works on pincer grasp and body awareness skills by creating a penguin out of different size pom-poms and glue.
You will need black, white, and orange-colored pom-poms to create the body, head, wings, beak, and feet of the penguin.
Instruct the child to glue 1 large black pom-pom and 1 large white pom-pom together. This will be the body of the penguin.
Glue 2 small sized black pom-poms to the body. These will be the wings.
Glue 2 small-sized orange pom-poms to the other side of the body. These will be the feet.
Instruct the child to take a medium-size black pom-pom and glue a small-sized orange pom-pom on it. This will the beak.
Glue 2 wiggle eyes above the beak. This will be the head of the penguin.
Glue the head of the penguin to the body.
