Today's workshop is a transference activity. Provide a container with materials on the left and another container on the right. The child transfers the materials from left to right. The child can use their fingers, tweezers, tongs, strawberry hullers, etc. to transfer the materials. Moving from left to right provides indirect preparation for the left to right directionality in reading and writing. You can use any materials, such as mini erasers, pom poms, buttons, etc. You can even use materials related to your current theme (see photos below). When possible, it is good to have materials in sets of ten. This provides indirect preparation for the decimal system. This is a great activity for many skills - left to right, counting, and fine motor. And children LOVE it!
