Sticky fingers!

Both Albie and J love to glue!  It isn't important that they stick things together or create something to look at, they love the process of drizzling glue, sometimes onto paper, sometimes not!


I gave Albie and J individual bottles of PVA glue to squeeze out onto the paper, this develops their muscles as well as their hand-eye coordination.  I also provided a selection of different things to stick onto the paper if they wanted to.


Initially they both drizzled the glue onto the paper.  After a few minutes I pointed out the paper, pom-poms, feathers, sequins etc and asked if they would like to choose something.  Albie decided to build a 'tower' of different things.  J put something onto the paper and then glued over it! 


I gave M some PVA glue in a pot with a spreader, initially he used the spreader but very quickly he used his fingers instead.  M enjoyed squidging the glue in between his fingers, he did become a little frustrated when the paper and feather stuck to his fingers!


















Here are Albie's and J's finished pictures, aren't they lovely!
