Hand and Eye Coordination

10. February 2011 by admin.

Yarn Balls ….. they can be made with different types of yarn and varying sizes. You will need the yarn (twine can be used as well), a small strip of cardboard (about 2 inches wide) and scissors.

Wrap the yarn around the cardboard – rotating the ‘ball’ to get it ’round’. When the ball has been completed to the desired size snip the yarn and thread the end into the yarn ball … bring it back through to the top and tie it off with a knot.

Tossing or even rolling the textured ball is a lot of fun for the little ones and will help develop the hand and eye skills.
