When children are using the Connecta Straw
When children are using the Connecta Straw
they are using fine motor skills. This is important for little ones, ages 4, 5 and 6. They are building muscles in their hands as they pinch the ends of these straws and fit them in to connectors. It develops eye-hand coordination as well. These straws are great tools for little ones to just play with and develop those muscles so that when writing and cutting later on, their hands do not get tired. Older children, and even some younger ones, can take these
straws and begin the process of creating. They will use logical reasoning and step by step decision making as they try and try again to get these straws to form their desired goal. This is harder than you think and when you see that your child has acutally made something with these straws be proud!
Fianlly you can take these straws a step further and not only build with them but ask your children to pattern with them, make them in to shapes and challenge them to make three dimensional shapes. Connecta Straws are long term
