Little Fingers

One of the most important things we do is help the children develop motor skills.  Each week they have opportunities to work their little finger muscles in a variety of ways.
Stringing beads is not easy.  We find that Bunnies are typically successful at stringing large beads, but struggle with small ones.  By using pipe cleaners for stringing, they are better able to control the beads.  The stiffness of the pipe cleaner adds support in a way that floppy string can't.  Success!
Everybody loves hammering!  Giant styrofoam block + plastic hammer + golf tees = fine motor development disguised as endless fun!
