Tranferring Beads into Bottle through a Funnel

Recently, I put plastic colourful plastic beads in the sensory tub. There are also spoons, empty bottles and funnel. 

Today FF is doing scooping exercise to transfer beads into the bottle by using the funnel given. It is such a great exercise to train her fine motor skill.

She also realised that if she doesn't use the funnel, the beads might fell out while pouring into the bottle.

Beading with pipe cleaner

Found this activity at Pinterest quite long ago but never give it a try.

Yesterday I saw Sheng Siong supermarket is selling the pipe cleaners for Chinese New Year decoration which cost $1.00 for 15s.

Today I let FF tries with it. She dislike the beads can't stay on the pipe cleaner if she pushes all the way down. This I tie a knot at the end so the beads won't drop out.

It is a good activity for her fine motor skill and also her concentration.
