Fill the Pot of Gold
Difficulty Level: Medium
Time Needed: 10 minutes
Best done: Indoors
Main Movement: Pincer Grasp
Materials Needed
-
Construction paper or foam
-
Tape
-
Child-safe scissors
-
Empty Tissue Box (Pot)
Let's Play!
-
To begin, create the "gold coins" - cut out large circles out of the construction paper or foam (foam works better as it does not rip as easy).
-
Place the coins:
*6 Months + : Don't actually tape them down, place them around your little one letting them use a raking motion to try and grab the coins. If they are able, show them how to push them into the tissue box (pot).
*10 months + (sitting/standing): tape the coins down on the floor and let your little one push them into their "pot."
*12 months + (walking): Tape coins at various levels (windows, floor, cabinets etc.) to encourage your child to bend, stretch, and reach for the coins and then place them into their "pots."
