Transferring With Tongs

A child transferring objects with tongs

The children work on refinement of movement activities year round in the Under 3 classroom. The materials help the children to refine small movements of the hand; to exercise and develop hand eye-coordination; and to coordinate two hands working together.

Refinement of movement activities also aid the children in concentration, growth, and independence.

Here is a child using the transferring with tongs activity, one of many activities within the classroom that help to refine movement.
