Fine motor skills exercises for children

A simple IKEA hack with the ORDNING cutlery stand.

Spielerisch die Feinmotorik üben

Wir lieben einfache Ideen. Und deshalb haben wir uns ganz besonders über das tolle Lernspiel von @0_kinderkram-0 gefreut - denn die Materialien für dieses Spiel habt ihr mit Sicherheit bereits zu Hause. Und deshalb muss gar nichts vorbereitet werden - ihr könnt direkt mit den Feinmotorik Übungen für Kinder starten!

What you need for the fine motor skills game

an ORDNING* cutlery stand from IKEA
a few metal screws with matching nuts

Make sure that you use metal screws without a point so that your little ones can't hurt themselves on the tip of the screw! You can also use the screws in different lengths to encourage fine motor skills.

DIY fine motor skills exercises for children

And as soon as you have collected the items, you can get started. Your toddlers now screw each screw onto the cutlery stand one by one. Turning the nuts onto the screws is the perfect way to train fine motor skills. Reaching into the cutlery stand is also a good exercise. Who can screw the screw all the way to the bottom?

More educational games to tinker with

The ORDNING cutlery stand is really flexible. We have another great idea in store - because you can also turn the ORDNING into a Mikado game. The detailed instructions for this IKEA hack can be found via the link.
