OT Activity of the Day:
Apple Tree!
Target Age Range: 3 and up
This activity is perfect for your Preschoolers. You can use the dice or no dice, the dice may add a more difficult element for your younger Preschoolers, so be careful! This craft will focus on fine motor development through the use of tongs. We have our Hand Scoopers, Jumbo Tweezers and Globe Tongs and all work on different fine motor skills.
This task is pretty simple to set up. All you need to do is make a tree, grab some pom poms and tongs! You can have your child sitting and just moving the apples on and off the tree or you can set the apples up on one side of the room and the tree on the other and add an element of movement as the apples move on and off the tree. It’s up to you and what your child needs/wants!
Enjoy!
