Overview

The child transfers small objects from one bowl to another using a spoon. This exercise isolates the spooning movement used in eating and cooking, refining the three-finger grip and wrist stability. It is typically presented after dry pouring.

Objectives

What the child gains from this work

Develop proper spoon grip (three-finger/pencil hold). Strengthen wrist stability during transfer. Build bilateral coordination (holding bowl steady with one hand). Increase concentration span through repetitive action. Prepare for independent eating and food preparation.
