Monster ball activity with buttons
Hi everyone. This is my monster ball activity. Kids love it and it’s so fun. It’s good for fine motor skills if you use buttons to feed the monster, it’s good for hand/ fingers strength when kids press on the sides of the ball to open its mouth and working with both hands together is good for coordination and bilateral hand skills. You can use buttons to feed the monster taking one button at the time with your fingers, you can use beans or small beads and feed the monster using the spoon (good for training for using utensils).
I bought a tennis ball and cut the small opening in the front with the box cutter (it’s better to cut not along the line that has two sides of the ball glued together, however, depends on the ball) after that glue googly eyes and find some buttons to place inside the ball. For fine motor skills feed the monster buttons one at the time.
