-
Encourage children to cut, stick and hold materials.
-
The fine manipulative and gross manipulative skills and hand-eye co-ordination will help development, physically.
-
Talk with children so that they can develop their vocabulary, especially if unusual materials are being used. It will provide language opportunities.
-
Discuss size and shapes to help spatial awareness. It will help with cognitive development.
-
Encourage children to take turns (if more than one) and share materials. Social skills will be developed, along with independence and self-reliance, as children complete their activity.

Children will gain enjoyment from handling materials and from problem-solving. Children will feel they have ownership and a sense of achievement, contributing to emotional development.
