an introduction


The above photos demonstrate how I introduce a new activity to a child.  I sit to the child's right so they can easily see my hand movements. 
I am showing Francisco 'boxes and bottles' and Oscar 'nuts and bolts'.  Both of these activities are great at developing fine motor skills, specifically the tripod grip required for proper pencil grip.
Once I have shown an activity to the child they are free to repeat the activity as many times as they want and then return it to the shelf.  Now they can use this activity whenever they wish.
