Fill the Trays: Mini Version

While Abby was napping, Alyssa and I did another version of filling her ice tray. I got out the smaller heart beads that I definitely don't want out with Abby around. These beads required a lot more pincer grabbing from Alyssa - good fine motor practice.

Quick thoughts:

  • Do not do this is your kid puts things in their mouth, and supervise even if they don't.
  • I counted how many beads I got out so I would know if we left one out for Abby to find later.
  • Alyssa was fascinated by the tiny beads and how they sometimes stuck to her hand. She got a little nesting cup to collect them in.
  • The pinching is really good for the fine motor development and finger strength.
