Todddler and Preschooler

You need:
Piggy Bank
Coins
No piggy bank? Use a small box with a slit

Toddler:
You can not leave them unattended with small coins! Show your toddler how to hold the coin with a pincher grasp and put it into the piggy bank. It makes a wonderful sound! It is a great fine motor activity as well.

Have your own coins to drop in as well. Name the coins as you drop them.

Preschooler:
Show them how to drop them in. Help them examine each coin. Who is on it? How much is it? What is the name of this coin? They will love the noise too!

If / When they are tired of dropping the coins in, dazzle them by showing them how to SPIN them like tops!

Tip: Have a lot of coins ready, they will enjoy this longer than you think.
