Sticks and a Sponge

Here is a look at the fine motor, sensory box I put out recently.

 

I grabbed a bath sponge and her neon stir sticks (from Walmart) and put them in a container.  The sticks have a rounded edge so it is a little difficult to poke them in the sponge but she was able to do it.  This activity was a great way to strengthen her hands and fingers.  It also kept her busy for about 30 minutes.

She was able to remove and reinsert the sticks a lot of times before the sponge got destroyed.
