Playing with clerical rubber bands

3 to 5 years

To play the game you'll need several ordinary clerical rubber bands of different colors.

Take a rubber band and put it on the thumb and the forefinger of the kid. Let them stretch it to different sides with their fingers.

If the band is pretty long, wrap it over the fingers 2 times to shorten it.

When your little one manages to stretch the band with one hand, try with the other and then - with both hands!

You can also change the fingers: the thumb- the middle finger, the thumb - the ring finger.


The easy-to-arrange game is beneficial for your kid's fine motor skills, sensory and hand-eye coordination development.

Make photos of your kid playing with the rubber bands and upload to the App. Write whether you both liked the process and add some words about your kid's progress.
