OT Activity of the Day:
Halloween Kerplunk
Target Age Range: 4 and up
Here's a Halloween spin off of our Kerplunk game. This is a great game that targets problem solving and speed grading. It's great practice for those kiddos who need reminders to slow down and think about what they're doing.
All you need is an old toilet paper or paper towel roll, uncooked spaghetti (last time we used pipe cleaners) and some Halloween knick knacks. First you use a hole puncher to punch holes in the roll. This can be done by you, or your child. It's pretty tricky so it's a great hand strengthener for those older kiddos. Next you put the uncooked spaghetti through the holes, so make sure you punch an even amount! Last you place the Halloween knick knacks on top and you've got yourself a game!
Enjoy!
