OT Activity of the Day:
Paper ripping
Target Age Range: 2 and up
Who doesn't like ripping paper? It's fun, easy and great practice for those fine motor skills. It focuses on improving the pincer grasp, wrist/forearm rotation and bilateral coordination. All these skills are necessary to succeed and have fun in preschool and elementary school as they help with efficiency in writing and cutting. So today, ditch the markers and crayons and substitute colored paper and glue!
Enjoy!
