Fun Ideas for Tong Play and Favorite Fine Motor Skill Tools

One of my favorite tools to use during OT sessions are tongs. There are many sizes that can be used and for a variety of activities. Using tongs are great to help students develop strength and coordination needed in the small muscles of their hands. This in turn will help with cutting, grasp and writing. Here are some activities your child can do using tongs:

  1. Painting with Cotton Balls
  2. Fill a Container with Pompoms
  3. Stack Blocks
  4. Sorting Small Objects Using Tongs
  5. Pretend Cooking or Helping in the Kitchen
