The weather here has been just beautiful this week, so we've been taking walks every evening. Little pockets come home stuffed with treasures and last night it was all about the acorns. I left them out on his shelves in a bowl and this morning I walked in the room from another part of the house to find my little Chipmunk had gathered his bowl, tweezers, and a pitcher and was happily working away!
Fine motor skill practice - picking up acorns with tweezers and putting them in the pitcher. The fun part is always dumping them back in the bowl.
Counting. How many will fit in those little boxes?
And of course, we had to find out what was in them! We used a wooden mallet and a table knife to practice our skills and open a few acorns for investigating.
