OT FUN at Home
Happy Earth Day!
To celebrate, we’re taking our recycle and making some building blocks! While most of you are not lucky enough to have in-laws who save their toilet paper and paper towel rolls for your crafts at work (thanks Tim and Pegi!), I’m sure you have plenty of these laying around since we’re all going through toilet paper and paper towels like crazy. Grab some of those empty rolls, cut some slits in them (I did 4 on each side) and your children can put those beautiful fine motor and visual motor skills to work!
If you want to really work on their visual motor skills you can build a tower that they have to copy!
If you have other recycle lying around, you can always make “litter bugs” (take whatever recycle or trash you have and use glue to build a bug!) which is another great fine motor activity as I’m sure you’ll be using glue, scissors, or some type of fine motor manipulative! This would also be a great executive functioning activity!
Stay safe and healthy and enjoy!
