Apply a dot or two of ink. Fold the paper, and apply pressure with the palm of your hand. ... As soon as you make an inkblot, you will start seeing things in them–fantastic ... Some will be more butterfly-like than others. ...Inkblots can help anyone neatly sidestep their logical brain to access their creative right brain right away.

Group Activity on Orange colour by Nursery kids

The Cylinder Block
Purpose:
1) The child learns to judge size by sight.
2) The child reaches an abstract conception of dimension, and
this interest and knowledge enable him to observe the
environment with intelligence.
3) The child develops coordination of movement.
4) The child is given an indirect preparation for writing. The
fingers and thumb, which will later hold the pencil, are being
used to hold the k***s. These digits are also used in the
manipulation of most tools (e.g. spoon, scissors, brush).
Therefore, the hand is being trained for manipulative skill.
5) A preparation for mathematics.
