Stripes on the Light Table

Materials:      
Painter’s tape
Small items to line up between the stripes (bottle caps, floral stones, corks, paper clips, cut straws, buttons, etc.)
A light table, although any flat surface will do!

Directions: Lay down stripes of painter’s tape on your surface. Invite your child to construct stripes in between the tape stripes with the material you’ve selected. Younger children may choose to build right on top of the painter’s tape, which is fine. They’re practicing the pincer grip as they pick up the material and eye-hand coordination as they place it on or within the stripe!
