Fine Motor Light Table Activity for Kids
This invitation consisted of two items: pool noodle cut into blocks that we used in this building activity and light bright pegs. I chose to set it up on the light table, which is not necessary. It just added an extra dimension to the play.
For K, this activity was quite challenging, but he persisted. His main objective was to just get the light bright pegs to stick and stay standing up in the pool noodle blocks. You can see his focus and concentration in the pictures below. He was determined!
Once J mastered the technique needed to make the light bright pegs stick, he progressed into a math activity all on his own.
J started lining up some of the pool noodle blocks.
Then he carefully counted the number of light bright pegs he wanted and pressed them into a pool noodle block.
I won't tell you what he did since I think that the pictures say it all.
Yes, he put one peg in one noodle block, two pegs in another block, three in the next, and so on. I found this extremely fascinating. And I love how the boys can take two random objects, explore them in different ways, and still surprise me with what they come up with.
