Activity Kit for Fine Motor Skills Development Focused on Color Matching
The busy season for children's activities is upon us, and we have a new addition to keep little hands busy and minds engaged. The Ocean Themed Busy Bag is a fun and educational activity that can be taken along on a car ride during a trip to the beach or enjoyed at home.
This activity is designed to help children match colours and improve their fine motor skills. It's a great way to keep children occupied and learning during long car trips or as a summer play activity.
To create the Ocean Themed Busy Bag, you'll need a few common household items. Blue felt, corrugated cardboard, coloured paper, scissors, and coloured clothes pins are the main materials required. The size of the corrugated cardboard can be adjusted to make the activity suitable for floor or lap play.
The cardboard in the activity represents the sand for the beach. Small fish shapes are cut from construction paper to match the colours of the clothes pins. Pinching clothes pins is a fine motor skill tool that helps build the small muscles of children's hands.
The activity encourages children to use bilateral coordination, a motor skill necessary for tasks like clothing management and scissor use. Both skills are important for pencil grasp and endurance in colouring. This strengthening activity contributes to hand endurance and the arch development of children's hands.
More busy bag ideas are available to try for continued learning and engagement. The best part? These activities are easy to create and can provide hours of play, leaving them out for children to play with throughout the day.
So, pack up the Ocean Themed Busy Bag for your next beach trip or use it as a fun activity at home. It's a great way to keep children learning and engaged while they have fun!
