Real Tools

With moving into a new house Lizzy has seen Mike and I use various tools to hammer nails in the walls and do small repairs. Lizzy is always curious and thinks she can use the tools herself.  To gain some practice, fine motor skills, and hand eye coordination I set up an activity for Lizzy to practice hammering. The materials used were a Styrofoam block, golf tees, and a real hammer. Lizzy enjoyed this very much and over the next few days filled the Styrofoam block with holes from all the hammering of golf tees and taking them out again.
