Grabber
Children make a grabber using sausage sticks joined with rubber bands to pick up small objects. This game teaches simple mechanics, grip control, and coordination.
Materials :
- Sausage Stick
- Rubber
Challenges:
- You can ask kids to make a grabber using sausage sticks and rubber bands.
- The kids should be able to grab and put something down.
- Provide different materials of different sizes and textures, such as pebbles, papers, and sticks, and ask kids the differences on how the grabber can hold these.
- Place the object to be grabbed in a nearer place initially, then you can keep it in a far distance and ask kids to make changes in their grabber to grab these easily.
Questions to be asked:
- What kind of objects can be grabbed using the grabber? Why or why not?
- Can lightweight materials like straw be used to make a grabber?
- What differences can be seen when the rubbers used in the grabber are tied loosely and tightly?
