From Our Nurture Class : Keeping Calm (English Version)

Dear parents and guardians,

We hope that you are doing fine.

Today we are sending some resources about the importance of keeping ourselves calm, without worrying and to be resilient in our lives. It is important that children learn from an early age that in this way we are happy and it is also beneficial for our health. Each activity has the recommended age group and guidelines as to how to go about it.

Thank you for your attention.

Regards,

Ms Janice & Ms Claire

Kindergarten Activity No. 70 : Clip Worms

A Fine Motor Skills Activity

Clip Worms

Fine motor skills involve the use of the smaller muscles of the hands. Children use their fine motor skills while they are colouring, painting, scribbling, using scissors, building with blocks, buttoning up, opening lunch boxes, and using cutlery to eat. They also use fine motor skills white trying to tie shoelaces, open and close zips, brush their teeth, comb their hair etc. The efficiency of fine motor skills influences the quality of the task outcome and the speed of task performance.

 

The ‘Clip Worms’ activity is an activity which will help enhance the child’s:

  1. fine motor co-ordination and control
  2. finger strength
  3. hand-eye co-ordination
  4. colour recognition
  5. counting

 

For this activity you will need:

  • Toilet paper rolls or Kitchen Towel rolls
  • A marker
  • Googly eyes (optional)
  • Coloured paper clips (big and small)

Activity:

  1. Cut the 2 toilet paper rolls in half to make the worms’ bodies.

 

2. Draw on the worms’ faces using a marker, as indicated in the picture. You can use googly eyes for the eyes.

3. Tell your child that now you are going to place the paper clips of the worms. Take some paper clips of different sizes and clours and ask your child to count them out loud. You can take as many paper clips as you like, depending on your child’s ability.

4. Ask your child to start placing the paper clips on the worms’ bodies. They can alternate colours and size. Encourage them to count the paper clips and say the number out loud each time they place one on the worm’s body.

 

You can make long worms by using kitchen towel rolls instead of the toilet paper ones.
