Fruit Basket Creation
Parent and child create a fruit basket collage together, drawing circles for fruit, cutting them out, and gluing them onto a basket shape. The agent coaches the parent to observe fine motor control in circle drawing, cutting with scissors, and gluing precision — building foundational writing and coloring skills through creative play.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Table or flat surface with paper, markers, child-safe scissors, and glue/tape available. Green playdough optional. Parent and child seated comfortably together.
