OT Activity of the Day
Fall Leaf
Target Age Range: 2 and up
Today we worked on paper ripping and squishing and gluing! This is a great fine motor activity. It not only works on the bilateral coordination of ripping paper, but then you have to use the finger tips of your fingers to squish the paper into a small ball. As with any activity modifications can be made. While some children were able to rip the paper independently, some kids needed the rip to be started for them. While some kids were able to use their finger tips to squish the paper up, some kids worked on simply gluing the ripped paper to the leaf as is.
No matter what the modification, this is a great fine motor/fall activity for you to do with your little ones!
Enjoy!
