Spoon Glide Seesaw

Purpose

This activity helps your child coordinate their eyes with their hand movements. They must use both hands to balance the board while focusing on a moving target. It builds the tiny muscles in their fingers which are important for writing later. Plus, it is a fun way to practice staying calm and focused!


Activity Steps

Steps:

  • Tape two long cardboard strips side-by-side to make a wide path.
  • Draw a colorful zigzag line down the middle with markers.
  • Place a ping pong ball at the start of the path.
  • Give your child a spoon.
  • Ask them to hold the cardboard track with both hands.
  • Tilt the board left and right to roll the ball.
  • Use the spoon in one hand to keep the ball on the line.

Safety Tip:
Always supervise your child during play to ensure they use the spoon and ball safely.
