Transferring with Tongs activity helps develop fine motor control, concentration, and hand strength.
How to Set It Up:
• Choose a tray and two small bowls — all in the same color to minimize visual distractions and help the child focus on the task.
• Add a small amount of objects (e.g., 10–15 dry beans, pom-poms, or large beads) to one bowl.
• Place the tongs alongside the bowls on the tray.
• Invite your child to transfer the items from one bowl to the other using the tongs.
Tips:
• Use a non-slip tray to keep materials steady.
• Start with larger objects and progress to smaller ones as coordination improves.
