This activity is perfect for putting their fine & gross motor skills into practice as they work on manipulating their pincer grasp and pulling away with their arm as a whole. This pulling activity also helps strengthen their arm & core muscles!
And as the threads disappear inside and then appear as they pull, they further understand the concept of cause & effect and practice their problem-solving skills to figure out how to get all the threads!
