OT Activity of the Day:
Stuff the Turkey
Age Range: 4 and up
This activity was designed for my preschoolers and pre-K’ers. I initially called it “feed the turkey” but then one small genius of a child said, “We’re stuffing the turkey” and I just rolled with it. I added a variety of tongs to work on hand strength, endurance, and overall fine motor manipulation. For some kids I didn’t even use the tongs, I just had them use their pincer grasp. Some children did this activity in prone to work on postural extension and some just walked over for added movement. The options are endless!
Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy!
