Fine Motor Apple Activity
Supplies:
- circular red platter {or red paper plate
}
- construction paper or foam
- kid tweezers
- apple sauce
- black beans
If you have yet to do our applesauce writing tray activity, first tape a brown stem and green leaf to the platter so that it resembles an apple.
Next, add a couple of small pre-packaged containers of applesauce to the platter.
Dump several dried black beans into the applesauce.
Provide your child the tweezers and encourage him/her to use the tweezers to pick up the "apple seeds."
As your child picks up the seeds with the tweezers, count the number of seeds. This is a great way to sneak in some math skills, too!
