Catch the Turkey
This Thanksgiving activity helps promote pincer grasp and works on cutting skills as well as hand strengthening as the child pinches the clothespins and places them as feathers on the turkey’s body.
Cotton Balls Music
This is a great activity to do in a group setting. However, it can be done with only one child as well. The goal of this activity is to use the clothespins to pass the cotton balls without letting them pile up in front of the child when the music stops.
Squeeze this Puffy Paint
This activity helps in strengthening the finger muscles.
Mirror Me
Work on visual skills, body awareness, and coordination without any materials. All you need is at least 2 people and some open space to play.

Such an important read! As a pediatric occupational therapist we see an increase in referrals for kids who have no specific diagnosis, but who lack many basic foundational skills! That’s one of the reasons why I created #skillsinabox
Our goal is to support the sensorimotor development of children, through fun and engaging games and activities, encourage them to be active, and reduce their screen time!
