Materials:
Small plastic container or box (like a child’s shoe box)
Yellow sticker dots
Yellow spring-type clothespins
Directions:
Place the yellow sticker dots about 2” apart around the top edge of your box. If you have yellow clothespins, great! If not, use the regular wooden ones. If you want to, you can use a yellow highlighter to color the tips of your clothespins.
Show your toddler or preschooler how to pinch the clothespin to open it up; then pinch it to one of the yellow dots on your box. Continue until interest wanes. This is a great activity to practice the pincer grip, which is important for when your child is learning how to hold a pencil properly!
