So fun! Great fine motor skills also. For an extra challenge once mastery is achieved with the skewer you can try using dry/uncooked past as the stick. The penne needs to be gently placed on to avoid breaking the spaghetti so it's more intense concentration and fine motor control.
String on yarn is another challenge using same manipulatives
I like to do a few different activites with items. Saves time/ money/ resources while keeping interest and developing new skills.
Thanks for the suggestions! Trying with uncooked spaghetti is a great idea! We've tried already with yarn/string and I can say he's not very great at it. I mean he's not pacient enough, he would quit easily if it doesn't work how he wants it. That's why I like to repet some activities because every time we do it again, he learns something new and that way he's working on mastering all those fine motor skills, emotional and cognitive capacities.
Thanks a lot for commenting! :x:x
