How to make 3 Simple Fine Motor Activities for Outdoor Play

Threading with pool noodle

Cut out pool noodle in about 0.5 -1 inch and find some rope or sticks. We had  foam sticks that day for play so we used them. Simple. Easy. Perfect!

Practicing fine motor skills with plastic basket

We have this great plastic basket with holes that we use for play. So with the foam sticks I demonstrated how she can put straws thought the basket. She was very determined to push stick thorough holes on both sides of the basket. It took some time until she mastered it but it was fun activity.

Fishing foam sticks

Another great fine motor activity, this time involving water. I have cut some foam sticks in about 2 inches log, placed them in to plastic container filled with water and gave he plastic scope with holes to catch the sticks. Fun, fun, fun… what else to say.

There is no better way than have fun and play while mastering new skills.
