Guest Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Hi everyone, wondering if anyone follows Allistar-Bryce-Cleggs funky finger ideas to run alongside dough disco?? Meant to be 5ish minute fine motor activity, it is only used during this time and put away until following day/session. Does anyone have any ideas suggestions of what they do / provide for chn during this time? TIA xx

Guest Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 There are loads of fine motor ideas on Pinterest! And if you're on Facebook there is a Twinkl early years group and EYFS group with some really helpful discussions on activities/ resources/ setting up funky fingers. I think there are lots of ideas on Alistair Bryce-Clegg's website and he often posts fab ideas on his instagram and facebook. We're about to start ours this week with Nursery (in a Foundation Stage Unit) and have been interested in the various ideas for a while so am following all these discussions and sources of information with interest! Good luck with yours!
