What You Need:
+ Tongs (scissor tongs, squeeze tongs etc.)
+ Paper to rip up (newpaper)
+ Container (big stock pot, plastic bin etc.)
+ Rip up the paper all over the floor
+ Give him the tongs and let him fill the container!
_________________________________________________
This activity builds coordination, hand strength and fine motor skills. For variation and increasing challenge, use different types of tongs and materials. Instead of paper, try using walnuts, acorns or legos. If your child is interested, let him rip up the paper. Possibilities are endless.
