Hi Everyone!
In Occupational Therapy, our students are working hard on visual motor control. Visual motor control is the ability to coordinate visual information with motor output. Examples of visual motor tasks are handwriting, painting, coloring, and cooking.
This week, I developed an activity that incorporates sensory and visual motor integration!
Shaving Cream Mazes!
- Our students squeezed shaving cream into baggies
- For additional sensory input, some students added paint for color
- I created different mazes with varied difficulty, as you can see below:
- The students were asked to isolate their index finger and trace the mazes
This activity was super fun and addressed sensory and visual motor control!
For additional fun, I hid objects within the shaving cream and students had to find them!
This is a simple and inexpensive activity that could be easily recreated at home!!
If you have any questions please feel free to comment below!
Have a great day!
