To make it actually possible for kids to do it, we have made the DIY needle out of toothpick. This way we can give it to the children without any scare. Although there are plastic needles available in the market, one might really be able to get them during the quarantine phase. So, DIYs always come to the rescue!

This activity again focuses on hand-eye coordination. Added bonus is that it will also allow your kids to play with colors which will make them happy. You can let them free play with colors and these stamps to develop their interest in this activity. Later on you can make them practice putting the stamps on particular points to actually involve them in development activities. Both the kinds of play are equally important for a child's development. Free play and organized play are both different techniques of achieving development milestones for children.

We have hence formed this t-shirt folding apparatus for kids to learn folding their own clothes as our last and final activity for this week.
