Strong hands help children succeed in many areas of learning. This activity combines fine motor development with counting as children use playful tools to move and count small objects.
Materials Needed
- Tennis balls with holes
- Counting bears or Unifix cubes
- Numbered cups
How the Activity Works
Children squeeze the tennis ball to open it like a mouth, pick up small objects, and place them into numbered cups while counting aloud.
What Children Are Learning
Children build hand strength, counting skills, and number recognition while improving focus and coordination.
