Improving Hand Strength

June 27, 2016 Shaun Grant

OT Activity of the Day:

Save the Animals....and Halloween toys.....I mistakenly thought they would float, they don't.

Target Age Range: 2 and up

This is always a hit.  Grab a plastic container, place plastic animals and other toys inside and fill the container with water.  Place the container in the freezer overnight and ta-da, you have a block of ice with animals trapped inside.  To save the animals, use spray bottles filled with luke warm warm water and spray away!  As the ice melts you can free the animals one by one.  This is a great activity to build strength in those little hands and fingers!  

Enjoy!
