Why it helps

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.

Help the child to cut out a large circle from the center of the paper plate, leaving about 1-inch from the edge, and creating an outer ring.

Using the hole puncher, ask the child to punch holes around the outer ring you have created.

Give the child a large piece of yarn (you can also use more than one piece of yarn) and ask him to lace the yarn through the holes going diagonally.

These activities are for home practice and don't replace the guidance of a licensed therapist.
