Guess the Toy

This activity promotes stereognosis (identifying an object through touch instead of vision), visual perception, and tactile input. This activity bridges the connection in our brains between what we see and what we physically feel. We use these skills for tasks, such as efficiently locating items in our backpacks without looking.


Build with Me

This activity primarily addresses visual perception, hand-eye coordination, and visual-motor skills. These are foundational skills to writing tasks, and will give you insight on awareness of letter reversals.







Fingerprint Turkey

This activity provides tactile input and works on finger isolation by creating a picture of a turkey using the child’s fingerprints.




Make a Puzzle

This activity develops fine motor control (coloring within the lines of simple shape), attention to task and following of multi-step directions (following prompts such as “color the star yellow”), fine motor skills (cutting) and visual motor skills (putting puzzle together).




Stereognosis Shape Finder

This game is working on the development of the child’s stereognosis skills as well as promoting visual perception by playing a shape finder game.




Stamp it up

This fun activity works on tripod grasp. Using a small stamp requires the child to use his fingers in a similar way of grasping a writing tool.


Ice Painting

This cold and fun activity helps in developing tripod grasp as well as sensory processing.


Thumb Opposition with Finger Paint

This activity assists with thumb opposition and with developing the arches of the hand. In addition, this activity addresses sensory processing as it provides tactile input.


Marble Painting The American Flag

It’s all about using handy materials to enhance your child’s developmental skills in a playful and creative way. Create a marble painting of the American flag and promote bilateral hand use, eye-hand coordination, fine motor control, and visual motor.









Strengthening Clothespins

This fun activity promotes the child’s finger strength through the play with clothespins. The child will also strengthen color matching skills.







TP Roll Snake

This activity works on multiple skills. The child will work on motor planning through a craft activity that has multiple steps. Painting with a brush or Q-tips will help develop grasp patterns, as well as work on visual motor skills. If using a tissue paper, the child can practice cutting skills by cutting small pieces and work on finger strengthening as he/she crumbles the pieces into little balls.



Clip the Kites

The activity is designed to develop and promote fine motor and visual motor skills, as well as to strengthen the finger muscles by manipulating school supplies.


Cut Me a Slice

This activity promotes the child’s cutting skills, visual motor skills and bilateral use of hands. You can have the child cut different shapes (straight lines, curved lines, circles, or squares) based on the child’s developmental stage and abilities.











Winter Snowflakes

This activity provides the child with the opportunity to draw different shapes and practice his cutting skills.


Hearts and Oval Butterfly

This is a fun activity for the spring, or any time of the year. The child is working on strengthening his fine motor integration skills by drawing shapes and on his cutting skills. Coloring the butterfly, decorating it, and twisting the pipe cleaners, is good for working on fine motor control and manual dexterity skills.




Multi Step Shamrock

This is a fun visual motor craft for St. Patrick’s day. The activity has multiple steps, which works on the child’s motor planning skills, in addition to promoting fine motor and visual motor skills as the child traces, cuts, and glues the different materials. For this activity, it is recommended to use green, yellow, or gold objects (i.e pipe cleaners, tissue paper, green pasta, etc.)






Tic Tac Write

The child will work on letter recognition, letter formation, and letter placement/sizing.

Matching Mittens

This winter themed activity can be done all year long. It promotes the child’s visual perceptual skills as the child is looking for matching mittens, and fine motor skills as the child manipulates the clothespins. If you let the child cut the mittens and decorate them as well, you also work on visual motor skills.
