Beads on a Wooden Skewer

Great fine motor work – practicing eye/hand coordination and strengthening the pincer grasp!

Materials

1 wooden skewer
1 piece of floral styrofoam 
Plastic beads in a small container
Dice

Directions

Place the wooden skewer into the piece of styrofoam.  Invite your child to place beads onto the skewer.  For an added challenge, provide 1-2 dice.  The child rolls the dice, counts the number of dots, and places that corresponding number of beads on the skewer.
