OT Activity of the Day:
Glitter Play Dough
Target Age Range: 2 and up
This was a fun activity that I did today with a variety of different age ranges while targeting a variety of different skills!
This is a great activity to work on:
following a recipe
fine motor control/stability (when holding the measuring cups/spoons still)
bilateral coordination (holding the cup/spoon while pouring ingredients)
wrist forearm rotation (when scooping and dumping)
letter/number formation (manipulating the dough to make letter lines)
sensory play
The recipe:
1 cup of flour
1/4 cup of salt
1/4 cup oil
1/3 cup water (add more if the dough is too dry!)
1 tablespoon of cream of tartar
glitter! (use however much you would like, just add slowly to see if you need to adjust water or flour)
Mix everything together and you have glitter play dough!
Enjoy!
