Beads Sorting
After completing the transfer activity, she voluntarily wants to sort out all the beads. She doesn’t have this much patience before. Kids surprises us always. Sorting beads is one of the best visual discrimination activity.
Pre-writing skill with beads
She has prepared this pre-writing skill activity for me. She drew a spiral pattern and ask me to arrange the beads with alternate color. As like her even i love this pre-writing activity.
