The Balloon Cup Wobble

OTPlan — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 05:15:00 +0000

This activity is a fun way to help your child develop a steady hand. By placing baking cups on a balloon, we create an unstable surface that moves with every touch. This forces your child to use their helper hand to stabilize the bowl. Meanwhile, their working hand practices the precision needed for writing and buttoning. Using tweezers builds the strength in the thumb and index finger. It also encourages your child to slow down and focus on their movements. The visual challenge of aiming for the wobbly cup improves eye-hand coordination. It is a great indoor game that feels like a balancing act!
