Incorporating everyday tasks into your therapeutic setting is an important part of growing the fine motor skills of any individual with delays or difficulties.
If your child or client has the ability to even attempt the tasks below – go for it! Every effort made is not one wasted!
* Zipping a Jacket and unzipping
* tie shoes and untie
* buckle and unbuckle a belt or bag strap
* do puzzles (any level)
* working with Legos or other snap together blocks – be sure to take apart too
* buttoning and snapping
* using scissors (with appropriate monitoring – of course
)
*painting (be sure to utilize several different angles – use a 90 degree then the next time use the 180 degree – just an example)
More suggestions coming – here are some sample pages from the Fine Motor Fun for Everyone Download Membership – I hope these help to get you started.
