Nuts & Bolts- exploring real life materials

We like to offer the children real life materials to work with, as they build their skills and grow!


 B&B hardware gave us a wonderful discount, in purchasing this set of Nuts/Bolts & Screws to put out for the children to work with!


 It wasn't easy at first....
Finding the right sized nut to screw on. There were 4 different sizes for the children to experiment with.


Older children modeling for the younger ones.

Look! I did it!


This activity was a fun way for the children to build their fine motor skills, discern different sizes, spatial and math concepts, and of course allow the children to feel BIG using materials that are needed for building and fixing REAL world things.
