Adeline's motor skills are weak, so we are working hard to improve that. I would like to start teaching her how to write letters soon but I feel that we need to strengthen the muscles in her hands a bit more.
What we are doing:
1. Crawling every day. Crawling strengthens the hands as weight is put on them.
2 Hanging from a monkey bar.
3. Playing with play dough
4. Lacing beads
5. Peg board
6. Scooping with a small scoop is very good because it forces you to use your pincher grasp.
7. Drawing lines - we have been doing lots of matching pages. I laminate them and use them over and over.
8. Prewriting pages- I love these pages from: 3 Dinosaurs
The number matching page is also from 3Dinosaurs
We love these dry erase makers they are thin like a pencil and Adeline can erase when she is finished.

ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! We saw the greatest results this summer after doing lots of creeping, crawling & monkey bars.
