Sponge Stack Tilt
Purpose
This activity strengthens your child's core muscles and helps them build better body awareness. Handling the squishy, wet sponges also provides great sensory input for their hands.
Activity Steps
Steps:
- Fill the bowl with water. Place the foam sponges inside to soak them fully.
- Set the plastic container upside down on the floor to use as a narrow stacking platform.
- Ask your child to kneel in front of the platform. This helps stabilize their core.
- The child gently squeezes one sponge over the bowl to remove excess water.
- Using both hands together, the child carries the damp sponge and stacks it carefully onto the container base.
- Continue stacking sponges one by one. Count how many sponges they can stack before the tower falls over.
Safety Tip:
Since the floor might get wet, ensure the child is kneeling on a non-slip mat or towel to prevent accidental slips during movement.
