Imbucare Box

This activity requires the child to pick up the cube and place it through the hole at the top of the box. It encourages the child to use a pincer or palmer grasp as well as refines hand-eye coordination and fine-motor skills. This activity also develops a child’s understanding of object permanence.

Opening and closing containers provides practice using both hands working together on various mechanisms, such as small boxes with lids, to zippered bags, screw-top jars, and much more!  The refinement of movement and eye-hand coordination prepares a child for further practical life activities.

Snow!

The children explored our first snow this season with colourful ice cubes using scoops, cups and tongs. They scooped and felt the snow, and observed it melting. This was a great activity to extend our outdoor environment by bringing snow inside.
