Heather Black created a developmental toy called Stickley the Cow using recyclable materials. The toy helps develop fine motor skills, cognitive skills, and social skills. It is designed for 12-24 month olds and can be used in individual or small group play. The learning activity plan includes reading a book and discussing colors and food. Children can explore Stickley the Cow for five minutes before the teacher guides them with questions. Videos of children playing with the toy are available. Performance Assessment 3. Creating a developmental toy by Heather Black. This is Stickley the Cow established 4-10-2023. Stickley the cow was created using recyclable materials and other odds and ends found around the classroom. She took 20 minutes to complete from start to finish. Here are the list of items that I used. I used one empty coffee can with lid, four yogurt pouch tops, one Easter egg, two googly eyes, one purple button, pink paint, hot glue gun, purple ribbon, and popsicle sticks. Target developmental skills by motor skills. Use printer graphs, put objects into a container, take objects out of a container, cognitive skills. Find hidden objects, sort and recognize colors, follow two-step instructions, parts of the body, and show hand dominance. Social skills, sharing and taking turns. This toy is created for 12-24 month old. You can use this in individual play, individual small group, or small group. Learning activity plan. For circle time you would read the book 10 Hungry Pigs and discuss the colors of the food, the amount of food, and if the children like the types of food mentioned in the story. We would then gather into individual small group, which is a small group of four children, are introduced to the sow and left to self-explore for five minutes. After that we would do teacher engagement. After five minutes of self-exploration the teacher can step in and help guide the children. Is the piggy hungry? Should we feed him? Look, a purple stick. I think you would like this one. Let's try it. Good job, you loved it. Let's try again. Can you find a red stick? Where are the piggy's ears? And then here are some videos of my children playing with the toy. I hope you enjoy it. Thank you so much. Performance Assessment 3, Creating a Developmental Toy by Heather Block.
