- Hand-eye coordination: pouring water into the coffee maker
- Gross motor skills: carrying the coffee maker to the counter
- Fine motor skills: measuring coffee grounds and pouring them into the filter
- Balance: standing still while pouring hot water into the coffee maker
- Strength: lifting the coffee pot to pour coffee into a mug
For continued development, children can practice pouring and measuring with different materials such as sand or water. They can also try balancing objects on their head or walking with a book on their head to improve balance. Strength can be improved through activities such as carrying heavy objects or doing push-ups.
