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.

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.)










Dream Catcher

In addition to the strengthening of the finger muscles, this activity helps in developing the child’s cutting skills as the child imitates the cutting motion by using a single hole puncher.



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.
