Nature cutting bin

Download This Activity

I like this activity because it's almost free (you just need child safe scissors) and it gets kids involved in gardening.

I'm sure most kids would be very interested in cutting natural objects.

This activity is inspired by ideas from Nature cutting bin.

What you'll learn

This activity is great to teach your kids:

Hand-eye Coordination

Hand eye coordination activities help kids use their hands (and muscles) and eyes at the same time. When the two work together, young children begin to increase their ability to pick up, grasp, and manipulate objects.

Fine Motor Skills

Fine motor skills involve movement of the smaller muscle groups in your child's hands, fingers, and wrists.

Developing fine motor skills will help your child to write and prepares her for school. But it will also help your children with everyday tasks like eating, and dressing themselves.

Colour Recognition

Colour recognition activities helps children get to know the different colors and color blending and matching.

Sensory

Sensory play is play that involves all the senses - taste, sound, sight, touch and smell. Sensory play is very beneficial to children. Research shows that sensory play builds nerve connections in the brain’s pathways, which lead to the child’s ability to complete more complex learning tasks. Sensory play is also very relaxing and rejuvenating to children.
