This is a fantastic activity to strengthen those fine hand muscles, practice pencil grip and revise the alphabet.
You will need:
- Jelly
- Small container
- Alphabet beads
- Tweezers
Method
Make up the jelly the night before you want to do the activity.
Just placing the jelly in the freezer, add alphabet beads and leave to set.
Place the items on a table with the invitation to play.
You can have your child randomly pick out the beads or search for a specific letter.
Once we had picked out all the beads, Hamish turned this into a sensory activity by squishing the jelly between his fingers,scooping it and cutting it with a plastic knife.
