Cups are not just for drinking! They are also for bean-pouring. Who knew?
She gingerly poured the white lima beans into the paper cups. Completely enthralled in the journey of the bean INTO the cup, she then found she can pick beans one by one and distribute them to the other cups.
After this, I gave her some of her nesting cups to challenge her pouring ability.
Success! Now moving onto bigger cups
And back into the mini cup…
This dexterous activity turned into about 30 minutes, and what made it even better was it was completely unplanned. She found something she can do with her little fingers. 🙂
And…when she did spill the beans, she “uh-ohed” them right back into the cup with the rest of the lima friends.
