Cc will strengthen their fine motor skills and build finger and hand strength by using a tennis ball that has been cut to resemble a little monster’s mouth; they will squeeze the ball to grab counters one at a time and then place each counter into a matching colored square on a pattern template, for example, after squeezing the ball and retrieving a blue counter, they will place it in the blue square, followed by a red counter in the red square, continuing the color pattern until all blank squares are filled, reinforcing coordination, grip strength, and early pattern recognition.
