The Sticky Pom-Pom Spoon Flip
Purpose
This fun game helps your child practice using their hands and wrists in a smooth way. By using a sticky spoon, they must carefully press and then flip their wrist. This movement is great for building the skills needed to use tools like pencils later on. It also works on eye-hand coordination as they aim for the cups. Your child will love the challenge of getting the fuzzy balls to land exactly where they want. It is a great way to talk about colors and counting together!
Activity Steps
Steps:
- Use markers to color your paper cups to make them look bright.
- Wrap masking tape around the back of the spoon with the sticky side facing out.
- Place a large pile of colorful pom-poms on a flat table.
- Hold the spoon handle using a firm and steady grasp.
- Press the sticky back of the spoon onto a fuzzy pom-pom.
- Rotate your wrist to flip the pom-pom into a cup.
- Count how many you can land in the cups before you stop.
Safety Tip:
CHOKING HAZARD: Pom-poms and tape are small parts. Always supervise your child during play and ensure they do not put any materials in their mouth.
