*Overdue post – activity conducted on 24 October*
This simple activity of tonging cotton balls hones the tot’s fine motor skills, in particular, learning how to control fine finger motion.
I used cotton balls at first as I didn’t have anything else that was suitable. The next post will show another tonging activity with different coloured pompoms. 🙂
