Description

One of the simplest methods to strengthen the Child’s fine motor muscles, is to introduce this 1 ml syringe to them.  The Child must use greater manipulation with the larger syringes. The stronger suction pressure; exerted by big syringes; makes it more difficult to draw back the plunger, and to depress it.  However, these smaller syringes require more fine motor dexterity.

Features of the 1 ml Syringe

  • the direct objective is to-
    • pull the plunger out while the syringe is under water, draw water up into the syringe, and then depress the plunger to release it
  • indirectly, the Child-
    • strengthens their hands while developing control, and coordination
    • improve their finger grip; known as the ‘pincer grip’, which is a pre-writing exercise
    • develops good bilateral coordination
  • this activity provides good support material for the Montessori practical life curriculum

Activities related to the use of the Syringe

  • transferring liquid from one container into another

  • water plants by transferring water from a jug into a vase with a narrow neck
  • transfer a predetermined amount of water; using the measurements on the side of the syringe as a guide; into a small container, such as a bowl or a tray that hold ice-cubes.  This is a more advanced activity.
