Little Eye Dropper

The use of an eye dropper activity is a great fine motor skill builder. This fine motor practice helps the child prepare for writing. 

Materials: Color Water (should be dark enough to show up in the individual suction cups), eye/medicine dropper, suction cup (I found mine at the dollar tree), sponge, and a tray. 

Using the pincer grip take in water from your cup or container. Only drop a little to fill each suction cup. If possible present the lesson with filling each suction cup top to bottom, left to right.

When all the suction cups have been filled, take a sponge and dry up the water. If the sponge becomes full show your child where to go to dispose of the water. A child should have been given the how to use a sponge lesson before the eye dropper lesson. 

Ava wanted to repeat the lesson again! :)
