Welcome to the 5th edition of OT Friday Fun Fine Motor Newsletter. Today we are going to learn how to make a pinwheel. Ironically, it goes along with one of the mindfulness activities that was introduced yesterday. However, it’s also just a fun springtime activity to do. You can decorate your pinwheel anyway you like. After it’s completed, it can be used for a mindfulness breathing activity or it could simply be used for some decoration in a flower pot or garden.
Ways to Incorporate Handwriting:
• Complete the template worksheets that involve handwriting. On each wing write and complete the following statements: (1) Something I love about my school is… (2) Something I love about my family is… (3) Something I love to do during spring is… (4) Something I love to do outside is…
• Have your student write out the steps for making a pinwheel
• Ask your student to write a story about the pinwheel
• Have your student write their name on each wing of the pinwheel
If you don’t have a printer, here are the steps to make a pinwheel.
