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:


  1. You can ask kids to make a grabber using sausage sticks and rubber bands.
  2. The kids should be able to grab and put something down.
  3. 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.
  4. 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:


  1. What kind of objects can be grabbed using the grabber? Why or why not?
  2. Can lightweight materials like straw be used to make a grabber?
  3. What differences can be seen when the rubbers used in the grabber are tied loosely and tightly?
