BIG KID CORNER: Simple Sensory Scoop & Pour Challenge!

This scoop and poor challenge is for bigs and littles… But mostly BIGS! Believe it or not big kids have trouble scooping and pouring too! This is a great activity to teach patience, stamina, coordination and frustration tolerance! The goal is to try to move a substance from container to container without spilling it!

What you need:

🍶some type of sticky substance able to be scooped, but challenging (we used sticky tapioca pearls)!

🍶 a surface that can get messy!

🍶 containers of all materials, sizes, and depths - big cups, little cups, lids

🍶 serving utensils of all materials, sizes, lengths 

Rules:

🥄 pick a utensil to scoop a glob into the largest container— DO NOT SPILL!

🥄 pick a different utensil and scoop that same glob into the next biggest container— DO NOT SPILL!

🥄 keep moving the same glob from container to container until you’re down to the smallest container— again… DO NOT SPILL!

🥄 See if you can make the glob bigger by adding more goop!

🥄 See if you can start with the smallest container and work your way up in the opposite direction!

🥄 make your own rules and have fun!

THEN GET MESSY!
