Why it helps
In this activity, the child will use tweezers to transfer and manipulate small objects. Choking risk: beads and pom-poms can be a choking hazard. Stay within arm's reach, and keep them away from children who still put things in their mouths.
Draw a simple shape (e.g. house, boat, tree) using the markers on the paper.
Ask the child to lay prone on the floor resting on his elbows.
Ask the child to use the tweezers to pick up the beads or pom-poms and place them on the shape you drew on the paper.
