Have you ever heard your child talk about "poking" and wondered what they were talking about? Well, we're here to tell you!
Poking involves a large thumb tack, a carpet square and an image on card stock. The child uses a large thumb tack to poke around the image outlined on the paper. Poking around the outline perforates the image so that its easily detached. The act of poking aids in the development of fine motor skills and eye-hand coordination. It also mimics holding a pencil - which is important for handwriting skills.
