Makes My Monday: Fine Motor Skills

The other day I went to AC Moore and got a few things for the kids to sort.  I decided to take them out and let them play with the colored wooden beads and string them on some pipe cleaners.  They had fun and I was amazed at their ability to put the beads on the pipe cleaners.  These kids are definitely delayed in the speech area, but their fine and gross motor skills are so where they should be if not a little ahead.  I am so happy when I see them complete these tasks!
