Play-based activities for drawing and writing

Ready to Write gathers play-based OTPlan activities that build the skills behind drawing and writing: a steady grasp, strong little hand muscles, and eyes and hands that work together. Each one uses everyday materials and has an easier and a harder version, so you can follow your child’s lead.

There’s no wrong way to play. Let your child choose, adjust as you go, and stop while it’s still fun.

Skills it builds: Pre-writing · Tripod grasp · Visual motor
