DIY Posting Activity – Craft Sticks

Posting activities such as this one are great for strengthening fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, pincer grasp, spatial awareness and concentration.

In addition to all these benefits, they are very attractive, especially to young toddlers and can be easily DIY’ed at home from any container with a lid.

I simply made holes on the lid and covered the container with coloured construction paper so the label wouldn’t be distracting. Then I presented it with mini craft sticks. Find a variety of craft sticks here.

I made this DIY when A was around 10 months old. As soon as I presented it to A she started doing it. She struggled a bit in the beginning but kept focusing so intently in a way I hadn’t seen before. Seeing her concentrate like that made me realize I was never more sure that Montessori was the right approach for us than in that moment.
