Скачать или смотреть Tip Tuesday: Fine Motor Crafting

Craft ideas to improve fine motor skills for the holidays or any time:
For the youngest children you can make Pom-pom ornaments, improving those pincer skills. Having them retrieve the pom-poms and insert them into the small opening. As kids get a little bit older, they can make these pony bead ornaments with pipe cleaners. These are great options; continue working on those pincer skills with the pipe cleaner to provide additional stability and make it a little bit easier to string the beads on top. Also, the pipe cleaner provides some nice flexibility, so you can really shape them into fun ornaments!
For older children, these Perler bead activities are engaging, continue to work on pincer grasp and refine fine motor skills, and also incorporate executive functioning, pattern following, visual-motor-perceptual, and integration skills.
