Glueing on paper

Sensory

• The activity of glueing on paper helps the 3 year old student develop fine motor skills by practicing precise movements with their fingers.
• Through this activity, the student explores various textures, from the sticky feeling of the glue to the smoothness of the paper, enhancing their sensory experiences.
• Glueing different materials onto paper allows the student to engage in sensory play, stimulating their sense of touch and visual perception.

Further development can be encouraged by introducing various textured materials for the child to glue, such as cotton balls, sandpaper, or tissue paper. Adding scented glue or scented paper can also engage their sense of smell during the activity. Encouraging the child to create patterns or shapes using the materials can enhance their creativity while further developing their fine motor skills.
