Fall Trees

Why it helps

This is a fun and creative activity that works on tolerating tactile input and finger isolation.

On a piece of construction paper, either draw a picture of a tree trunk and branches or have the child draw one for you.

Then give them a paper plate with 3 small dots of different colors of paint.

Ask them to dip one finger at a time into the paint and "dot" onto the trees to make the leaves.

For a fall tree, dot some paint at the bottom as well or along the sides as if the leaves are falling.

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