OT Activity of the Day:
Caterpillars
Target Age Range: 5 and up
Spring has sprung and that means all things caterpillars. So many of my kiddos are learning about the caterpillar to butterfly process in their classrooms and we thought we would join in!
All you need is some paper, markers, glue, scissors and poms. Of course if you don't have one of these items, you can always improvise! This activity if perfect for those kiddos who need some extra practice with scissors. Not only can you cut out the leaf, but you can make small snips around the leaf. It's also a great activity to promote hand strength and control when using the bottle of glue, not a glue stick.
For an added writing challenge, you can always have your child write a sentence or two about their caterpillar:).
Happy Spring and enjoy!
