Paper Crease Tunnels

OTPlan — Fri, 09 Jan 2026 21:08:43 +0000

This activity is a fantastic way to boost the tiny muscles inside your child's hand (intrinsic muscles). Folding paper strips requires strength and precise control, which are vital for a mature pencil grip and managing zippers. The second part challenges eye-hand coordination. Your child must aim the stiff, folded paper perfectly into a narrow slot. This practices the controlled push needed for tasks like buttoning or maneuvering small objects.

This simple activity is fantastic for building fine motor skills. Pushing and pulling the Q-tips helps your toddler develop the important "pincer grasp" (using the thumb and index finger) they'll need later for holding a pencil and buttoning clothes.
