Our unit of Sukkot has lead to lots of fine motor exploration this week. The pincer grasp is an important developmental milestone for toddlers and our kiddos really have enjoyed activities that test their use of this skill. One class favorite this week has been a "put in" task with wooden coins and old takeout containers. A slot was cut in the lid to make the use of the pincer grasp necessary to get the coin in the container.
