Tong transfer is a Montessori practical life activity where a child learns how to hold a tong and pick an object and transfer it into another bowl.
The objectives to teach tong transfer to a child are:
1. To teach them how to use tongs.
2. To refine their transferring skills.
3. To develop a three-finger grip and small muscle
4. To introduce the concept of sorting.
5. To help them identify size, color, and shape differences.

Tong transfer is an excellent activity that helps a child to develop fine motor skills, prepares hands for writing, builds hand strength, and builds focus, coordination, and concentration.

Sit with your child and repeat this activity with the items available at home like cereal, chopped up vegetables, cut fruit, sugar cubes, cotton balls, cooked peas, corks, etc. Encourage your child to pick up the objects with tongs and transferring the items into another bowl.
