Transferring and Scooping

Today I decided to put together some activities for Alexander that were all related to transferring. During his nap, I gathered lots of container, objects to transfer, and things I could use to transfer the objects. I ended up with more than I needed, and I was able to put together these 8 activities that are focused on transferring (or spooning or scooping).

Separating red and white beads using a measuring spoon

The Tower of Hanoi (great for sorting colors and also stacking from largest to smallest)

Pouring beads from one glass container to another

Transferring beads from one bowl to another, using a spork

Using a spoon to put felt balls onto a tray and then back into the bowl

Using a dropper to transfer water back and forth between

Using a small ladle to move balls from one bowl to another

Using tongs to move lollipop sticks in and out of a small cup

So far Alexander has only explored a few of these. He really loved the balls and the lollipop sticks!
