Our activity for Fine Motor Fridays this week works on color matching, sorting and fine motor skills, combined with some lovely bright spring colors!

For this activity we used:
- 2 containers
- 1 small bowl
- Plastic hinged easter eggs
- Tweezers (we used loop-ended tweezers from our Tongs and Tweezer Training)
- Pom poms
The aim of this game is to pick up a pompom with the tweezers, put it in a plastic egg of the same colour, close the egg and put it into another container.
F really got into this activity – he particularly loves those blue tweezers so I had hoped he would enjoy it! Although he didn’t use the tweezers every single time, he did match the colours up perfectly.
Closing the eggs was surprisingly tricky, which is why I had included this as part of the game rather than opening them.
But he did manage it each time without help, and quietly sat there until all the eggs had been filled! Look out for some more Easter-themed fine motor skills activities from us over the next few weeks!
But enough about us, let’s see what the rest of the team has been up to this week!

My kiddos love playing with Easter eggs! You could even start it out by hiding the eggs first!
Love it! Color matching too! Some of those eggs are tricky to put back together!
I love all the spring colors too! You know spring is coming when you start playing with the plastic Easter eggs!
