OT Activity of the Day:
Play doh and letters
Target Age Range: 3 and up
All you need for this activity is play doh and letter cards. I am using the Roll A Dough letter cards from Handwriting Without Tears (www.hwtears.com), but you can make your own letters or use other letter cards you may have scattered around the house. Your child can pull parts of play doh and roll it into letter lines or they can pick small pieces off and place it on the lines. Either way they're working on fine motor manipulation so I'm not picky. This is also a great way to introduce upper case or lower case letters!
Enjoy!
