This is a great activity to practices many learning opportunities such
as:
· fine motor control
· hand and
eye coordination
· concentration
and problem solving
· simple
sorting and matching by colours
· early
counting
Materials I need are fish crochet in different colours and matching cups.
The reflection on how the children interacted with this activity was
wonderful. I have seen that every child enjoyed themselves while they are
sorting the fish into the cups. Some of the children just like to hold the fish
for themselves for a while before they put it in the cup.
Development area I am developing through this activity is to help
children get to know colours and develop early counting skills. It is also teaches
responsibility. Sorting and matching colours is simple to set up and will trigger
any child’s curiosity to play and have fun.
