Fun Learning With Pegs
- Practise the pincer grip: encourage children to peg small items on a clothes rack as this action is similar to the one needed for learning to write.
- Experiment with sound: encourage children to drop pegs into bowls from different heights. Ask them: Do they sound different? Do different bowls make different sounds? (use plastic bowls and metal tins).
- Practise sharing: by sorting colours ex. one child/adult takes the yellow and red pegs, while the other child takes the blue and white ones. Encourage children to do a chain of pegs joined together.
- Create a repeated pattern: attach pegs to cardboard creating a pattern ex. 1 yellow, 1 blue, 1 yellow, 1 blue etc. Ask the child to continue the pattern. Encourage the child to create a pattern himself. You can make it more challenging by increasing colours.
