Pop the Wrap
Purpose:
Who doesn’t like to pop the bubbles on the bubble wraps? The bigger, the better! This simple activity promotes pincer grasp, eye-hand coordination, and hand dexterity.
Skills: Eye-Hand Coordination, Hand Dexterity, Pincer Grasp(?) The pincer grasp is the coordination of the index finger and thumb to hold an item. Each time you hold a pen or button your shirt, you’re using the pincer grasp.
Pincer grasp is a hand grasp that develops around the time a baby is 8-10 months old. This grasp corresponds to the time a baby is beginning to feed themselves finger foods. The pincer grasp is needed in order to grasp a small item, pinch it between the index and thumb and bring it to the mouth., Tactile Perception(?) Tactile Perception (sometimes referred to as touch perception) is the brain's ability to understand (perceive) what the hands are feeling.
Have the child throw the dice.
The child will then need to pop the corresponding number of bubbles that the dice are showing.
You can also use a timer to time how long it takes the child to pop a certain amount of bubbles.
If the sound of popping interferes with the child’s ability to complete the activity, you may want to try and do this activity outdoors.
