OT Activity of the Day:
Snow Box
Target Age Range: 2 and up
This is a great sensory box for inside use. Just throw a blanket or large sheet down on the floor underneath the box prior to play and clean up is a cinch when it's all over!
To make this sensory box I used shredded paper from my shredder. I placed small stones, magnetic letters and tongs inside. I also made mine quite small so I can take it with me to home and school visits, you can make yours as large as you want!
This is great for fine motor manipulation, tactile discrimination (the ability to use touch only to identify items), and letter identification. A great snowy day activity for your preschooler!
Enjoy!
