Transferring activities, I’ve mentioned before, have a lot of developmental value in them. They can be done in different forms depending on the level of difficulty our Munchkin is ready for.

In the past, we have done a Transferring activity, transferring balls from one ball to another with a strainer.

This time to up the difficulty and also to fulfill My Munchkin’s development need, I did this DIY of Transferring with Tongs.

Things needs to make this DIY are:

1)Two small bowls preferably similar ones and of natural material (I used glass bowls);

2)Pom Pom balls of different colours

3)A pair of child size tongs

4)A tray

What do we do? Put the pom pom balls into one bowl and keep both bowls in the tray along with the tongs. This goes on to their work shelf. As always, a presentation of the activity must be given. Show your Munchkin how to use the tong to pick one pom pom ball from the bowl and transfer it into the other bowl. Repeat the same with a few more pom pom balls and then left your Munchkin take over the activity.

Simple and easy to make, isn’t it?

Age: 20-22 months (even earlier / later depending on your child’s motor skills)

Purpose: Helps develop hand eye coordination and pincer grip as well.

My Munchkin loves these simple activities, which are easy for me to make. They are great for her development as well.

Do you make similar DIYs for your Munchkin?
