Fine Motor Skills

When I taught first grade I was always amazed at how many kids hadn't developed their fine motor skills. Cutting with scissors is always a tough one at the beginning of the year. With that in mind I decided to give Jack a little fine motor activity - stringing noodles. Here is what happened:

10:05am - We start Operation Fine Motor Development

10:08am - Jack is pretending to take part in the activity…but only because mom acts like it's really fun.

10:11am - Jack is obviously bored and has dumped the noodles on the table. Waaay more fun this way.

10:13am - Forget stringing noodles, Mom. I can wear this container as a hat. Look! Look, mom!

10:16am - Operation Fine Motor Development is complete. Jack has declared a pillow war on Tucker.

We did enjoy the beautiful afternoon yesterday. Josie was loving her swing! She is such a happy girl.
