Today Jack was being something of a pest with not one but TWO pairs of tweezers. Maybe it's all little boys and tweezers, but the cats and dogs were not safe!!! In order to put the darn things to better use and to give me a MINUTE to concentrate I came up with a quick little plan! I found an egg box, tore the lid off and placed teeny tiny or tricky things in 6 of the cups. Jack had to TWEEZE the objects out of one cup and into another and then tell me which was easiest and which was hardest!!!
Fun eh?!!? You can't really see all the things in the cups but there was a brazil nut, a cheerio, a grain of rice, an oat flake, half a pistachio shell and a tiny round battery. He found that a Brazil nut was almost impossible for him to pick up but half a pistachio shell was the easiest thing!!! ;D It is so good for his dexterity to try games like that and he did it over and over again!! ;D
Fun, AND FREE!! ;D

Great idea... you're a marvel Tiff! Love the look of concentration on Jack's face...!! :)
Brilliant idea! We have the same tweezers, from a computer tool set I think. I'll have to put them to this use, currently they get used for chasing each other round, with inevitable consequences...
What a great idea!
