Create a finger puppet mouse while working on visual motor and eye-hand coordination skills using construction paper and glue.

This activity develops pre-writing skills (drawing a face), imitation skills (copying from a model), fine motor skills (cutting and pincer grasp) as well as hand strength and control. Children are motivated to complete this activity and will be pleased that they have their own “pet”.

This activity involves tracing and cutting and is great for the development of visual motor skills.

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.

This activity promotes grasping skills and provides tactile input by creating a little bird from differently sized pom-poms.

In this activity, the child will practice his eye-hand coordination skills in addition to developing his fine motor skills.

Kids love spiders! This fun activity will help your child develop and promote fine motor skills and tactile perception.

This activity works on thumb opposition as the child pinches the clothespins using the thumb and each finger in isolation.

Scooping ice cream is a fun activity that promotes ADL skills. In this activity, we combine finger strength with the development of cutting skills, as the child makes his own ice cream in a cone.

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.
