OT Activity of the Day
Balancing Snowflake
Target Age Range: 4 and up
This is a super fun way to work on letter identification and letter matching. If that is too much for your child you can always just work on the letters of their name. This activity can be geared/customized however it works best for your child.
The idea of the game is to balance as you walk on the snowflake to the letters that have been called out. You can add in “letter snowballs” like I did and have the child match the letters adding another layer of motor planning and balance as they have to walk over the snowballs to get to where they’re going.
This activity targets:
*balance
*letter identification/letter matching
*motor planning (figuring out the best way to get to the designated letter)
This is the perfect activity for your Preschooler or even your Kindergartner. For the older kiddos, they can always write the letters they had to find, or even come up with a winter word that starts with the letter that they found. Like I said, there are so many ways to play this game!
Enjoy!
