small motor skills - a balancing act

My friend Cari teaches preschool and sent me this idea. I revamped it a little.

Golf pegs are stuck in playdough (recipe below). Kiddos exercise their little finger muscles trying to balance small toys or marbles pom pom balls on the peg.

We played with small toys from Safari Ltd toobs or erasers or pom poms.

Roo who is 21 months mastered it quickly.

Smelly Playdough Recipe
1 box corn starch
1 bottle conditioner - any scent
Mix

It smells so so good! We used kiwi lime off brand from the Dollar tree dollar store. Any scent works great and really wakes up the brain.

Have a fun and playful day
