Handwriting, Strengthening, Prewriting

This board is for handwriting, pre-writing, hand and wrist strengthening activities specifically to promote good handwriting skills (grasps, etc). Many of the crafts and activities in the Fine Motor boards are also good for promoting handwriting skills but might not be designed for that.

Eyedropper Painting for Pincer Grasp Practice! I think this would work great on coffee filters. Also would cool to cut out squares of white cloth bound with masking tape on the edges so the paintings are easy to hang or frame. Better yet, what about RIT dye and T-shirts (put cardboard between front and back)?? - Repinned (and expanded on) by @PediaStaff – Please Visit ht.ly/63sNt for all our pediatric therapy pins

Dawn McDonald Killebrew What an odd thing to publish. Is there a point here?

Janelle SLP Dawn, I believe the author of the article was trying to say that being left-handed is neither extreme of wrong/weird or creative/genius, but rather just another human trait like hair colour.

use wind-up toys to work on hand strength. Also in this article, tips for working on buttoning and zippers. - Re-pinned by @PediaStaff – Please Visit ht.ly/63sNt for all our pediatric therapy pins

Karen Dobyns I am perplexed by this. Must research further how this tracing wheel works. Raised line paper is expensive.
