PEEK-A-BOO-MOUSE
I came across this lovely idea and wanted to try it in our classroom. Our children had lots of fun moving the mouse around the piece "cheese" pretending that he was eating. This activity is best suited for 4 and 5 year olds, and works on several important areas of development:
* bilateral integration - both hands are being used to manipulate the “cheese” and the mouse
* co-ordination – positioning and rotating both wrists to turn the paper plate and to move the mouse to different areas of the “cheese”
* spatial awareness – the mouse needs to go “under” and “up” and “around” as he nibbles at the cheese
* measurement – the mouse can’t fit into all the holes, so he needs to avoid the three small holes
* pretending/make believe – crucial brain development and thinking skills
Materials: paper plate, yellow paint, mouse template, ribbon, tongue depressor.
