Developing muscle strength and control of their fingers is an important aspect of development for our children so our recent activities, where they used chopsticks and tongs to pick up noodles, were a great way to practise these skills. We were impressed with the children\u2019s perseverance and concentration to try out this tricky activity. Why not try something similar at home?
