Here is the 4th edition of OT Friday Fun Fine Motor Newsletter. This newsletter has some great activities to help increase finger strength, object manipulation, pinch skills, etc. It includes the use of some of the tools we have used for more fun activities. It gives suggestions for alternative activities if you don’t have printer as listed here:
• Have the student move items into a cup by pinching them with tweezers or clothespins.
• On the apple and pencil worksheets, have the student point to the correct answer. (I displayed those pages below for easier access.)
• Have the student open and close a clothespin by pinching it 10 times using their index finger, middle finger, and thumb. This promotes their fine motor skills, too!
The newsletter also has ways to incorporate handwriting in the activity:
• Have the student write their name on the back of each card.
• Write about what the student would do if they found the end of a rainbow.
• Copy sentences or words about the different colors of apples or pencils shown on the cards.
• Write about what the student would do if they blew a giant bubble with bubble gum.
