Enjoy some fine motor fun with tweezers!
Set of 12 tweezers includes:
Two of each color: red, blue, green, orange,
y
ellow, purple.
T
weezers are a great tool for developing fine
m
otor skills in the hands, wrists, and fingers. At
a
young age, children should be engaged in
a
ctivities that promote fine motor
development. These activities will be of great
benefit when children learn to hold a pencil,
write their name, and perform day-to-day tasks
in school.
The following activities involve tweezers and
other objects that build strength and dexterity
in the hands and fingers. Demonstrate how to
hold the tweezers correctly. Make sure each
child positions his or her fingers correctly on
the tweezers. Practice opening and closing the
tweezers. Ensure that each child knows how
the tweezers “work.”
Tweezers Activities & Games:
Because cotton balls are very lightweight they
can help young children build strength in the
fingers and hands. Set a pile of cotton balls on
your work surface and give your child a pair of
tweezers. Have your child attempt to pick up
one cotton ball at a time and place the cotton
balls in a small bowl. Work on math skills
simultaneously by counting the cotton balls
when you put them in the bowl.
Use the tweezers to pick up objects such as
small blocks, nuts and bolts, candies, etc.
Transfer these objects from one bowl to
another. Always encourage your child to
middle

transfer (or move) the objects from left to
right, which is the direction used when
reading. If your child is successful at moving
these larger objects, try picking up smaller
objects such as beads and small, round buttons.
Involve the whole family in a fine motor game:
use tweezers to pick up household objects of
various sizes. Place a variety of objects in a pile
in the middle of a flat playing surface. Assign
each object a point value. The larger objects
(cotton balls, blocks, etc.) should be worth 1
point. The medium-size objects (nut and bolts,
buttons, candy pieces) should be worth 2
points. The smallest objects (coins, pieces of
string, flat buttons, seeds) should be worth 3
points, as these are the most difficult to pick
up. The youngest player goes first and uses the
tweezers to pick up an object and transfer it to
a bowl. Record the points based on object size.
Play continues until someone reaches 10
points.

Ensemble de 12 pinces comprenant deux
exemplaires de chaque couleur : rouge, bleu,
vert, orange, jaune, violet.
Les pinces sont un excellent moyen de
développer la dextérité et de muscler les mains,
les poignets et les doigts. Dès le plus jeune âge,
la pratique d'activités favorisant le
développement moteur fin est bénéfique.
Montrez aux enfants comment tenir les pinces.
Veillez à ce qu'ils positionnent tous
correctement leurs doigts. Laissez-les s'exercer
à ouvrir et fermer les pinces. Vérifiez que
chaque enfant comprend le fonctionnement
des pinces.
