Writing & Fine Motor

As a former elementary Art teacher and a consultant to Zaner-Bloser (yes!! they commissioned me to create a CD of original children's songs "On the Road to Handwriting") I have always been interested in supporting Fine Motor development. The board is now co-operative. www.RainbowsWithinReach.blogspot.com **Debbie Clement**

Mary Lauinger punched holes in toilet paper tubes(cut in half to shorten it) thread the needle to the middle of yarn and tied both ends of the yarn together, so that the yarn wouldn't fall off the needle.

Continuing series on fine motor. This installment takes a look at "shapes"

Here is a fun activity that will build your children’s knowledge about size. When you add tongs or tweezers to the activity children will be building on their fine motor skills---- You can really do therapy anywhere with anything!!
