Teach Kids How to Spread with a Knife with Blocks and Shaving Cream

Jackie Currie — Mon, 20 Jul 2020 16:00:00 +0000

Hey Lovelies! I hope you're keeping cool!

I wanted to share one of my favourite activities for toddlers and preschoolers with you.

If you have little ones who are just itching to butter their own toast or make their own peanut butter sandwiches, this is such a fun way to teach them how to spread with a knife.

Take it outside and have some fun with it! They'll strengthen their fine motor skills and co-ordinaiton, hone their knife-spreading skills and get some sensory play and structure-building in as well!
