Here is a simple, yet great, fine motor activity. Stickers! Have your kids peal the stickers and put them onto a paper. Here, we are putting "paw" stickers on the letter "P". It's sometimes difficult to get the stickers off of the paper, but don't jump in to help too quickly. Let your child use his problem solving skills to try to figure out a way to get the sticker off. This is so great for pincer grasp and hand coordination. Small stickers tend to be more difficult to peel.
Here parents, educators, and therapists come together to share ideas to help children of all abilities function at their utmost potential. Useful information and tips regarding the challenges that children can face, as well as fun, educational crafts and games for children to do are covered here. Some of the topics addressed are sensory, fine motor, school readiness, autism, strengthening and crafts.
I just came across your website and it is amazing! My son just started OT and we still have a lot of questions, etc. I have been looking for appropriate activities for him at home and am getting so much great information from your website! Great job and thanks for sharing.
