One of Jonah’s favorite things to do is practice using a hammer…preschool style. If we’re working in the basement, he often asks for this activity to work alongside of us. This is a trick I learned while I was in college and kids love it!

Preschool Hammer Practice

Materials:

• Recycled piece of Styrofoam
• Golf Tees
• Child’s Toy Hammer

Directions:

Using the golf tees as nails, let your child practice using a hammer. It’s fun to let them choose their design, but for an added level of difficulty, have them make a pattern.

Target Skills:

• Pincer grasp (helps in handwriting)
• Hand-eye coordination
• Life skills
