Cute Squishy Toy




Squishy toys are helpful because they’re soothing, calming, and enjoyable to play with. When children are in need of a dose of calmness, they can always reach out to the squishy toys to manage their emotions. 

The area I am developing through this activity is to improve motor skills of young children. While squeezing the toy, their hand, arm muscles, and the grip are strengthened, making them stronger and they may be able to hold items independently.

Lego Matching Shape

  I made the resources using old Lego, then I drew the shape on the cardboard.  This activity encourage children practice many learning opportunities such as: ·   fine motor control ·  hand and eye coordination ·  concentration and problem solving ·  simple sorting and matching by shapes ·  early counting   By figuring out how to put each piece into its proper mark, children learn to categorise and eventually name shapes.
