Hammering a pumpkin with golf tees, fine motor activity for toddlers


 HAMMERING A PUMPKIN WITH GOLF TEES
fine motor activity for toddlers 

It was hard the first time we did it, most of them needed help to start but then the following days the holes were already done so it was more enjoyable for them.

Supplies :

- 10 or more toy hammers
- plenty golf trees
- one or more pumpkin

The set up :

Just put the pumpkin (s) on the table.  Have your students choose a hammer, five each a handful if tees and demonstrate what to do.

The reason I like to have more hammers than children is for the last one have choice too.
