Sammons Preston Peg Board

How To Use Sammons Peg Board?

• Placing pegs into holes on a pegboard is great for developing your child's hand-eye coordination, and their control of hand and finger movements.
• Start with bigger pegs and let them take the pegs out of the holes - this needs less control and skill.
• As the child gets better at it, let them put the pegs back into the holes.
• They will gradually learn the important skill of holding small items by pinching them between their thumb and one or two fingers.
• This is good practice for writing in the future.
• As your child develops these holding and controlling skills, encourage them to play games with pegs and a pegboard.
• They can sort each color into its own section, or make a pattern - one blue, then one red, then one yellow, and repeat. If they are ready, try games that involve moving pegs on a board, like a peg solitaire.
• Show them how to "jump" over a peg and then take out the peg that you jumped over.
• The aim of the game is to jump over and get rid of as many pegs as possible and be left with just one peg in the center.
