OT FUN at Home
Today we were having some fun reading the Very Hungry Caterpillar book. Once we read all about this caterpillar and how hungry he is, we turned our hole punchers into caterpillars!
This activity can definitely be filed under Fine Motor Friday, there was so much that we were able to target with this craft!
First, we read the book, which focused on listening and attending. After that we colored in the food using crayons (works the hand muscles more than markers). This targeted fine motor control by working on coloring in the lines. Once the food was colored, we used our scissors to cut the rows of food out. This was a great way to work on bilateral coordination and using both hands effectively to cut along a line. After all that it was time to be a caterpillar! Using a hole puncher is a great way to work on hand strength and endurance.
All in all this was a super fun activity and one that is perfect for your Preschoolers and Kindergartners!
